I love the MS3, but the 233/239. 595/.603 also from Texas Speed will get the results your looking for with the correct setup.

That Raptor looks quite large, any more info on it?

MS3 might get you there, might need the 90/90 tb/intake though.

Which ever one of those you choose I think you'd need to have the converter upped to get the most out of it.

I second this or the 233/239 which will leave a little more clearance if you decide to have the heads worked. You would probly need to flycut if you had them milled at all anyways.

Eps should make the same power and have better manners.

What kind of heads will you be getting?
I personally would get a custom grind.

What will you end up going to? You won't get really deep into the 11s with those heads if you plan on keeping it a street car.
I would get a custom grind.. then later on I would look into getting a nice set of heads.

Something like in the 232/239 range from Futral Motorsports. Will compliment you setup NA and on juice. No need for a bigger converter but maybe a bigger intake.
