Holly if that set up doesn't go 10's on the motor something is bad wrong. Those guys on the Corvette forum forget to take there Centrum Silver and get cranky some times. How would those guys know what a Vic Jr. is going to do any way ? You will love your new msd box its a ton better. I would love to have any heads that Tony Mamo has worked on. Sounds like you have a killer setup
Check out the sillyness from corvette forum. The MODERATOR Shut Down the Post.
I had TSP and Tony Mamo giving props and shining the FI guys.

Hey 6L whats up with the K&N looking filter on your pass. valve cover? Is that in place of the factory fill cap? It looks alot better than the stock fill tube, and would be interested in what you did to make it fit and what the filter is from

The Truck filler neck has a bend in it and come up vertical I cut the neck just below the bend, took it to the local parts store/ speed shop and found a K&N breather that fit over it. You can buy a nice alum. base screw in filter from Thunder Racing but I'm cheap.

It's good to see someone say that. It seems like alot people just want to buy&bolt and not put a little thought into it anymore. It's what make a "hotrod" your own.

I agree 100%. I had a sticker That said " Its Not What You Buy Its What You Build " on my first vehical which was a 82 GMC reg cab long bed that I loved but it was a horrible brown color with no clear coat any where, I had built my first engine 355 pump gas motor,roller rockers, small cam, long tubes, yada yada yada. It wasnt pretty but it was mine and I built it.
This is a early Iron headed lq4 motor.
