Well, it comes with an E cam and it pushes about 340-345 hp. It was dynoed with a 65mm T/B and headers and it pushed 340 hp. Im gunna put a TrickFlow manifold on with 70mm T/B with headers and my O/R pipes should make some more right?. How much?

Suweet!! congrats man!! I plan to do just that when I get the money. I think you'll be happy with it when you get her bolted in.

Keep us update when you do decide to install it.[sm=exactly.gif]
