yeah, just better have a deep wallet. Don't go cheap on the tubing. The 60's might be a bit small for a healthy BBF.

60's are definately to small for a 557...your not going to suffer from loss of low end with a BB like you do small blocks, but you better be drowning in money to build a 557 right

My bad on the sizing. The last twin set up I had were precision 91's but that was 6 yrs ago. I got the car completed and made a few passes, and sold the combo (410W), and planned to go with a 598 and a single 106 figuring it wouldn't be as hard on parts. Almost had it together then due to the economy ended up selling the motor and finally sold the car last January. The motor cost more than most new cars.
