Thats what I thought, thats why I specified viper v10 in my question :)

Any new numbers with the blower on? I dunno how much longer I'm gonna be
able to stick with this 3.9. I just finished a 318/nv3500 swap on a friends

97 v6/auto truck. The sound of the v8 is just intoxicating.....time will
tell..... :)
