the only reason the car wouldn't last is beacuase even without the spray you would be at about 340-350hp at the crank and with those 4.10 gears your gonna wanna romp on it all the time. but theres no reason why it shouldnt last if you don't tear it up.

That's one hell of a DD! imo. I would stay away from the trickflow intake as they are junk and don't produce the power they claim until like 7,000rpms which you won't see! There's no comparison to the P-51. It's simply the best out there. Honestly I would say save the money and putit towards a built shortblock! If you spray, make sure you have all the safety devices like Fuel saftey shut off switch, rpm limitor and a proper tune with all those extra's. A proper tune should run you about $400 with a couple of diff tune set-ups in your programmer. If you want to keep your stock block, take the money from the trickflow intake and put it towards a set of LT's that you'll benefit much more from!

Cool, i am unsure of the adding nos... but i seriously want the heads and cams, i love the choppy sounding idle. I will look at the P-51 intake manifold. I will most likely get LT's , but not till later as i just installed a upr o/r x which woul dbe useless when i get LT's. I wish superchargers were cheaper. Im also swaying on comp stage 2 cames or VT stage 2 cams. Are there any differences in those .
