    Flowmaster super 40s....anyone heard them yet?

    I think ill give the original 40s that i have a chance first, and fab them up with side pipes and see how it sounds this weekend. I wont be using a crossover (H or X) with this setup though, i have no room lol.

    For all those "forged vs. hyper" thread makers

    perhaps he didn't GAP THE DAMN TOP RINGS properly. I have KB 206 hypers in my 466, no problems on 10.4:1 and i dont go easy on it. I spent abot 4 hours just gapping the top rings because i knew they HAD TO BE PERFECT with these pistons, i made mine a few thousands big just to be safe.

    10" TCI streetfighter, 3000 stall.... I wish i would've went with a bigger cam and a little less LSA. I wanted to go with the edelbrock rpm cam, its the same as the one i have now, but on 108LSA, i was worried i wouldn't have any vaccuum for power brakes though, maybe i will change it next...

    smockdoiley on here has that cam with a torker II, he made i think mid 300 hp at the wheels.

    You should also consider doing the rods and pistons (car rods really suck in these motors) and stock pistons will give your about 8-9:1 compression on the small chamber heads even, they are like 24cc dish.

    I have a shortened AOD driveshaft with a c6 yoke. Stay away from flowmasters especially 3 chamber flows with a strip car. Go with something free flowing, i have dynomax race bullets. If your running a stock dizzy, or a motor plate with a MSD dizzy then you can get away with a 2.5" cowl. I...

    Thats what im after, not a drag only car. I was thinking a stroker kit, use the heads that are on it now and port the crap out of them, TFS stage 1 cam definitely and TFS upper and lower. will that get me around 350 rwhp or more? Info about parts i can use for the swap would be helpful too...
