thanks

The R manifold is NOT for you.

A good stall and more gear is where your money is best spent. A custom cam would be good too. Also, weight reduction.

I'm also hopping on the stall bandwagon!

An Edge 3000 RPM stall torque converter would make a HUGE difference. You REALLY need an auxillary transmission cooler as well, and a shift kit (or a self tuner like the Tweecer which allows you to set shift points/line pressure) would be nice too.

4.10s would certainly help get that heavy AODE droptop moving...but I'd personally have a hard time ripping the rear end apart for the difference between 3.73s and 4.10s in his case (and I wouldn't go higher than 4.10...he'll tach out 3rd in the 1/4 mile, not a good thing for an AODE car).

Oh, as for the R intake- as Grn92LX said, no way. That's way too much intake for your car.

Yeah unless you are gonna spin that motor to 8k or put a blower on it, I would stick with what you got.

Like mentioned, an R intake is for high revvers or boosted applications. For reference. We just put an R intake on a buddies fox and it matched up dead on with his AFR 185's. So if you don't have a 1262 sized port, forget it.

I agree with the guys about the stall....one of the most "feel it from the start" mods I have done......def. can feel it off the line.......and I have the 3:73's as well
