awesome.

couple of questions ....

i have a super and a junior victor, looking for the lowest profile elbow i can get to clear the fuel rails.

what elbow are you using and how is the clearance? i have low profile valve covers so that shouldn't be an issue clearance wise with the throttle body

thoughts?

The lowest profile one would either be the Aaarons elbows custom sheetmetal pieces or the lowest Edelbrock one.

Im using the tall Edelbrock 3849 and it clears by a mile! I have 3/4" drop mounts and a 8.2 deck engine though too!

Thats the problems with the low profile piece you run into clearence issues with the throttle body.

Peak hp was at 6800 and peak tq was at 5200
Peak hp didnt fall off very much through the next 1000 rpm up to 7800

There are some vacuum concerns that I need to get fixed.
Im going to get them taken care of, put some time on the engine then probably re-dyno it.

Thanks bud! I was hoping to break 500 rwhp but wasnt able to as the cam I have is very small and probably to streetable for my combo....

Down the road after Pinks I might throw a big cam at it and see what she'll do!

You gotta remember that cars come from the factory nowadays that rev to 7000 all day long with 100,000 mile warranties....

Its be no means a small cam, its a descent size cam for a street car which idles and drives perfect.

I could however put in a huge cam and make more power but throw all drivability out the window....

Im not quite ready to take that step just yet......lol

You coming to Norwalk bro?

Thanks man!

I will be making some shake-down passes this Saturday the 24th at my local 1/8 mile track to see what she's gonna do.

Wish me luck!
