Aheem, with those numbers I don't there is going to be too much spanking
going on except by the "heavily mod'd" boys. Price doesn't look too bad
either (if you take an R/T, put on the blower, and figure from $$$$s for
screwing around and breaking parts its prob. not a bad deal). And that
Eaton blower is a nice unit...
Nice torque numbers (grunt, grunt). What were the blower guys showing on
the 5.9? I seem to remember it only being 400 or so... Ok Dodge, lets
go! The R/T isn't the big stick on the block any more...
