Last night people were chiming in that a pulley would be needed to keep the hp output around 450 to keep it in the acceptable range. I think that it was birdieman.

Hey Lubie, I thought I read in one of the Vortec magazine bolt on articles, that the kit didn't come with injectors, for the $5K. I hope I am remembering it wrong. Does the break down on the kit in this post have the injectors??

We all, need to do this power adder !!

Thanks !

There is a cool article in the MM & FF April, issue, where they get to 12.4 ET. for $2430 in parts and labor. Course, thats with the drag radials. Not going to catch me boulevardin on those.

I still say, look for the best buy. The manufacturer will give you all the customer support you need!!

Unless, the vendor supports the MF site, , then at least pricem.

I guess, huffin, still looks good. Unless, if limited use is the quest, NOS. ??
