Cool Greetings From SoCal

Just thought I'd send a line to all of you and let you know I'm a newbie. I've had my WS6 for 3yrs and finally decided to join so I could get some info. Oh yeah, about the WS6... it's a pewter 2000 with a 382 stroker and all the typical bolt-ons. I"m at work, so I'll be back soon. Thanks

Went with a mild 218/218 cam, stock ported/polished heads, and stock exhaust manifolds with a catted y-pipe through a corsa exhaust. Had it dyno tuned and it's putting out 390rwhp and 485rwtq. I put it on the sniffer about 6mos ago before tuning and it blew really clean. After the tuning it just barely passed. Looks like I'm stuck from here.
