I know you said big block,but is the old school stuff or the new lsx serie's?
I also guess your talking about chevrolet. The only reason I am asking is it will make a difference to where people will refer you to?

íf i'm not mistaken reher morrison takes GOOD care of their customers..
they offered to send down a tuner (fly him and put him up in a hotel room) just to tune my engine on the dyno with the new intake..

my intake is a custom built one of a kind sheet metal with 2 fogger kits on the outside.. one fogger kit on the inside.. and one direct port kit INSIDE the actual intake.. prolly 7 grand invested in intake and carbs.. so it's kinda pricey.. but compared to the rest of the engine it was chump change.. so i can kinda see how they can afford to send a guy here to tune it for me.. and their name is gonna be at stake when i run because their name will be plastered all over my car for any contingency money..
