Basically I am going to upgrade to an 8 rib system, put more boost and bolt most of the current stuff up to it. Might upgrade to a F1 if Bob talks me into it

Kevin, let me know what the machine shop tells you after you have them check out the heads. 45 minutes, you're lucky the engine didn't hydrolock! Bob

Update: Put the car on the dyno yesterday. At just 4500 rpm we had to let off because my fuel system wasn't up to the task and getting really lean I put down 535 rwhp and 477 rwtq. I was only at 5 psi boost when we let off. Waiting on my Boost a pump and will be back in business.
