Wow, that is going to be one nice setup when your done. What are you going to do about smog though? I want to build a 409ci long block motor, but I'm quite worried about smogging it.

I have a guy who passes my cars so smog is of no concern to me, Except when its a Test only Center I have to hand over some extra dough .
