My 3.9 is slated for a ported head and cam swap this winter, and a reworked
stock intake that is being prepped, and a few fuel system mods...........
I may decide to try a 52mm TB next summer, as my BOOST and nitrous set up
combined with the ported heads may need some additional air flow!.......
Thanks for the compliment Ray! I hope to make it to Columbus next year and
you can check out my work close up!
