    why so little power

    it CAN be done, don't get me wrong, but the people in the magazine are (to some extent) matching things and getting rid of things. they prolly dropped all the accessories (a/c, egr, etc.) but also had a cam specifically for their heads with enough intake, etc........remember they do this for a...
