Definately not a stock bottom end, but it looks like the valvetrain throws in the towel at 6850 rpms?

Yep, it's definitely the K&N. It's that mild supercharging effect. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Congratulations Terry...now I know what they were working on instead of my car. Thanks MMS....it has only been 9 months! I am still ahead of the 2 years that it took to complete Rob's car. Maybe I should change my name to Terry!

I'm guessing 388ci, BIG hydraulic cam, high compression, and all of Terry's dyno tricks (don't forget that electric water pump) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
