    There is a sprint-car oriented shop somewhere in Penn. They reportedly have a CNC program for the Victor jr. Eldebrocks. Lee Grinnel of S&W has a set on his 408W. They are supposed to flow arround 330 on the intakes.
    Bad-Ass setup there.
    Regards.

    Yeah, Give Lee a call. He works evenings at S&W racecars in the parts department. His Fox fairmont wagon runs deep in the nines at 3,800lbs I beleive. Nice guy.

    BTW, remember your machinest said RHS stuff is getting better all the time. "WHY" wait on them? Ive heard too much bad stuff about them.

    Go with the Eldebrocks. Made in America.

    Regards.
