np man, i love to help anyone i can, they did the same for me so i return the favor. i dont have any #'s yet. i f'ed up advancing my timing the other day and im pretty sure i got a bad ring now since there is no compression in #2 cylinder and i did hear a loud knock once. anyways when it was running it would pin you too the seat real nice like. even being a auto with stock tranny that was gonna give way at any time it was fast. i took several friends for a ride, two of which are import fans, they were very impressed on what my car could do. i got a vid. that u can look at. i have some mod info on there, just pm me for the rest. im goin to bed, i hope u like the video.
im pretty confident that i could hit 12.2 in the 1/4 with stock suspension, DR's, 3.73's, and 3K stall.

personally if i had the money, i would spend the extra $$ on a dart block, go 331 or 347, and turbo that thing and make 1000bhp, but i dont kno what it takes to maintain a car with that much hp yet. nor do i have the $ now lol

so a roller is the winner i suppose well that narrows the search some what, ill get to you on that pm another time...

alright then, good luck. do a search on here and find the info on years and models the rollers are in.
let me kno what u think about the vid!
i was hoping 350rwhp but expecting 325rwhp. from what others have said about desktop dyno 2000 is correct, i should have around 425bhp, but i expect 375-400bhp.

thats pretty good man yea i got alot more reasearch ahead ive been taking a while couple of months and have almost covered everything just not ready to jump in yet i guess ? but the video is cool just i think you need a different exhaust or the video doesnt capture the true sound too quiet for my likeing... But i just want a engine that will allow me to keep up with my chevy buddies, and have something nice until i get my new car...

yea the digital camera iant the best, the car isnt like loud at idle but its got a sweet tone, its got equal shorties and gutted cats on stock exhaust. at 3000 it really starts to get noticible and at 4k it sounds freakin sweet. im thinkin of x pipe with slp loudmouths, but they dont seem much for then stright pipes so im not sure on a muffler yet. i dont want it to sound like every other stang but i want the muscle sound. well a 331 or 347 will be very fun and hard to keep up with. im sure i can take the new vettes in the 1/4. i would go with 347 (just need to notch block, 331 doesnt need it) to get all you can out of the engine. get a cam with atleast .530 lift and hold on for dear life, there is more to a cam than just lift though.

yea i know the cam is the heart of any motor set up... i think id be happy with a nice windsor its just that id want to stay efi and alot more parts would have to get beefed up.

injectors, fuel pump, manifolds, maf, the first 3 a carb would need also at a certian point.
