Could always make the stall bigger...
But what you've got down there is already going to make your rear end and tranny beg for mercy...

yeah theres no telling when they are going to go out. some people get lucky and they last for a long time with mods and some people blow them on stock applications. i would save for them but i wouldnt replace them until they break. but when they break (if they do) dont try to rebuild your trans or rearend... get something built to last

but the valves will clear with stage 1's.

A 200 shot on top of heads/cam/intake, and 7000 rpm shifts? You'll be in a 408 in no time! hehe

Really curious on the track times, should run strong while it runs.
