Hello Tom,
I think you have a great setup, I am jealous as all the parts you have added
are sitting on my table right now just waiting for install. I am looking
forward to the performance gains. Hey, maybe I will see you at the new
track here in Austin(Taylor) when it opens in a month or so? It's not too
far is it?

Vlad, the motor has only been built to the extent of doing the M1
intake, porting the heads, DT headers, no cat, bored t-body, custom cam,
pulleys, MP computer, roller rockers, electric fan & 2600 stall (@ the
time). Short block is completely stock. Why is this so hard for you to
believe, Vlad?? Let me give you two more examples. One of my buddies has a
'94 dak, 318 5-spd. His mods: 410 gears, MP computer, custom long tube
headers, pulleys, elec. fan, battery in rear, homeade traction bars --that's
it. Results: 13.79 @ 97.8 mph. He put on a cheap nitrous kit from a mustang
& ran 12.29 @ 110 mph. w/a 150 shot. My other buddy bought my blower (I do
not run nitrous & SC--only nitrous) & put better ported heads on than I have
w/an extrude honed stock intake and ran a 12.39. The point I am trying to
make is that it doesn't take a ton of money vested into the motor to turn
decent numbers. If you keep the detonation away and prevent leaning out
these motors can take a lot of abuse. All three of us have a ton of time
slips to prove our point and can be regularly seen @ Houston Raceway Park.
Do you see what I am spraying here Vlad?
P.S. Where's my Elvis stamps??
