Just wanted to add to this post that if I were a manufacturer of car parts I would tell everyone and their brother they needed to buy my parts. For valve springs the patriot dual golds would work out well for you. I realize you dont buy anything cheap for your car but why spend money when you dont need to?? 250 bucks or what do comp springs run now 500?

just my .02

Yep,dyno #'s dont really mean much to us auto guys,its the mph we look at 117mph aint too shabby ,looking for 119-120mph with the 90/90setup,cutout and good weather.

he has an 11 second car man, think about it... that is hauling butt. Some heads will wake the cam up even more, 40+ hp.

i just have seen more power on the dyno with that cam than what he put out. also i think he was running the m/t streets and skinnies to get in the 11's. im just running street rims with drag radials.

You will more than likely hit 400+ with a stock rearend /6speed with a g5x3 cam .

An auto with 4,000 stall + a 12bolt , 370 is damn good

What your car makes or runs is in the combo .
