Mikey, how did the intake line up to your 265's? I bolted my Harrop to the heads today, and one wall lines up perfectly, and the other is about .200" off. Cary mentioned that he opened up one side a good bit, so I'm assuming that's why. Really just wondering if your gaskets lined up ok cause at this time, mine look to be going into the port on that side. I may have to elongate the bolt holes on the intake so I can move the intake foward a bit to get a proper seal.

I knew going into this that the intake would be a problem but wanted to see how far I could take it. Not that we've seen how badly the engine is starved for air I can predict what we will see with a better flowing intake. I'd like to see this engine pull close to 700rwhp with a larger cam.

FYI, He went this weekend and went 10.1 @ 137 first pass. Car has major suspension issues. Twisted bad coming out and did not 60' well. Had clutch issues after that. Keep in mind this is a 60 year old guy driving. We may be going this Friday weather depening and he's going to let me drive it. The car is also ~3500lbs race weight. It's not a stripped out shell.

Update!
We re-dynoed the car today with a sheet metal intake and it went 674rwhp / 549 rwtq. The intake extended the rpm band to 7000 where it started to roll over. We lost a little bit of torque below 5000 rpms.
This fella just finshed installing his full cage and has it certified so now we are looking for some cooler temps then we hit the track.
I will print a graph and post it shortly.
