I just picked up a set of stage 2 gtp's flowing something like 320 @600 lift. Going to run them with mods in sig in addition to that a fast 90/90. I'll keep you posted on the results as I aquire all the parts needed for the swap. But fly cutting is definately in my future.

I had MTI heads that used 5.3l castings. They worked great and had a nice bump in CR.
