PS,

Tony, the guy who dyno'd our engine, was "thrilled" with those clearances (which should've told me something). Because when we nearly hit 500HP on the very first dyno pull, he threw all his skepticism about our setup to the wind and said we did a good job...

...but then told us about how EASY it would be without spending a ton of money to take it from 500 to 650-700.

So, obviously, this guy has one thing on his mind, and it isn't sex. It's 7 second 1/4 mile times.

"If you would replace that Edelbrock intake with a Weiand, replace your BG Speed Demon with a Holley Dominator, knock down the CNC grooves on your AFR 185's and beef up the valve springs, mill the heads to 11:1, you'd be well over 600HP."

"Great Tony, and if YOU would just find me some 500 millimeter rear tires and a 400 pound lead weight that fits nicely in my trunk, maybe I'll let you do that to the motor next winter."
