   I hope you'll continue to share. :-) IMHO, information like
yours, generated from controlled circumstances with the data to back
it up is just about as valuable as it gets! Its all about getting
compatible parts, and the "bolt on the product of the week" method
obviously isn't always the best way to go. A look at the "Factory
Appearing" muscle car events is proof of that! These are cars that
look (and usually sound) bone stock, but run times that most
"bolt-on" vehicles could only dream about.

  (Actually, your post got me to hoping that I made the right
decisions with my own 440!) :-)

Ray, I second that. Please do share. I have a '96 RC that is bo0ne stock save for a cat-back, MSD plug wires and colder plugs. It actually runs really well but would love to hear what I can do to get more out of it without spending an arm and a leg on useless stuff.
