Right now I have a 55mm F&B, 4bbl M1, HS 1.7 rockers & 3" exhaust. Headers
and true dual exhaust are going on next week, followed by a full Paxton
setup. When the Paxton goes on it will be getting dyno tuned, so I'll find
out exactly what's up with the engine and what I need to do. I've been told
that the fuel setup that Paxton uses is awesome and should be able to handle
it just fine. Eventually there will be heads/cam/forged internals/more
boost, but what I'm doing now should keep me happy for a lil while (it's
gonna have to until I can save up for the next stage lol).
