Until I get it on a Dyno again, i'm not sure if I hit the 200HP mark yet or
not. (1.6:1 Rollers have been installed as well as a basic Nitrous
System.) I'll try to find out before this weekend...going to Houston for
the Mopar Show/Race. If not, it'll probably be the following weekend...if
I don't blow it up first. ;)
