Thats bad ***. Just to go Nelson racing engines and almost all of his rides are over 1000 hp, most are in that 1500 hp level of the Merc. Great build, I love the Holley High Ram, thats what I'm using on my wagon. Cool looking forsure

I was going to suggest this but you ready have the intercooler covered. I'm extremely curious about the CID heads. I talked to the US distributor a couple of days ago.
