Breath my pretty, breath. It needs some serious intake to go along with the exhaust. Kooks 1 7/8 straight thru.

Grats man. your going to love it. I know after the long wait and everything that did not go as planned I was still just thinking how cool it would be. All you need now is to solve the new problems you have created.... Traction I have not had mine past 1/2 thottle and it spins like a ****. I hope to dyno next week if the weather lets up so I can get the car out. I am hoping to be in the 480 range with the A4. I was thinking N02 next but after driving it I think I need to find a way to hook it. If you figure it out let me know

I've been thinking of doing something like that. What does a set up like that cost?

I'm willing to say between $8,000-$15,000 assembled, depending on how aggressive you go with heads, pistons, cam, valvetrain, etc. This is for a 427 CID.

I got a good deal from Joe because I was a repeat customer. I know a lot of **** is going on now, but I HAVE HAD GOOD experiences with Joes parts. Cannibal is right. Depending on your exact parts, that is the range.

I am pretty sure the problem with my car is the bottom end. I think a ring or ringland, something with the piston in which I am getting a shitload of blowbuy. While I had the car running the other day after the dipstick popped out again I watched it and it was like a tea kettle pouring out steam. I must have been superheating the oil, I had alot of water vapor as well.
sure it isn't a head gasket?
