I never really understood why people spend so much money forging the bottom end but they dont use aftermarket heads to get the full use out of that bottom end.. I bet its puttin out about 430rwhp when it could be over 500 with a good set of heads..

Unfortunately I don't have a dyno in my area...ANYWHERE! It really sucks because I would like to know what it puts out too! Without spray most people have guessed it to be in the 450 horsepower range. With spray and slicks it can safely put down 650+ horsepower.

I'm glad you like my "moobs" took a long time to develop those babies! Anyhow, the car has 140k on the odometer and 6k on the new rebuild. All pm's replied to. Here are some more pics. I'll try to get some more pics including the interior and exterior asap. Thanks for the interest!

Videos Here are a couple of videos I tried to take with my digital camera between the steering wheel. It's difficult to steer, hold the camera in place, record and shift all at the same time. But anyhow you get the idea. This is all motor, no spray and not even running into the red.
