    Yuck! There goes 12-15 ft/lbs right there. Lol.

    Edit.. smaller exhaust diameter helps a little though.

    I guess I should give an update. I got it installed & have been driving & racing it since august 18. Everything fit pretty good except I had to mount electric fan on front of radiator & factory vortech tube from blower to intake wouldnt fit due to shock mounts so I had to work around that with a custom setup. It really woke it up to say the least.

    Nice. I went 7 teens a few years ago. Unfortunately, I live in Missouri now and they hate anything that doesn't turn left. It would 60' in the 1.40's. 92 is pretty strong on your pass. It aught to go quicker with some work.

    347. With world Windsor Jr heads. Pump gas hydraulic cam. It definitely needs a better head but I'm thinking I'm gonna go 408 next.
