You should be able to sell a few of those !!

I can't wait to see someone follow Kevins footsteps but put a much more radical cam in there. I'd love to see someone hit 700 hp on the engine dyno. I'm sure Ed's tuning could tame one of the wilder cams that will soon be put into one of these package builds.

Great job guys. Very interesting stuff.

I've got about 500 miles on that engine now. My Vettes not a DD It would be a great DD. I drive it everywhere including DC rush hour. It's no more difficult to drive that any other manual - just a hell of a lot more fun. It sounds no more "cammy" that a 346 with a 224 cam.

I'm trying to make it to 1,000 miles and still have my license. This car is just WAY too much fun. With a 5.03 power to weight ratio is just stupid quick.

How about a pic in the car?
