Is that anyway to treat a new guy espesially after all the help you ask for?

So it's basically a cam and intake right? 240-250 range, and that's prolly being generous.

i dont ask silly questions like how much hp does my car put out? if your going to the track, take your ET and MPH and figure out your hp


86 5.0, i bet my engineless notch could still beat your 86
