I agree with you D , Id love to hit mine with a slight 5 psi boost if I could afford the set up. And for sure If someone was gonna hand me a twin set up ( even though its a bit much ) Id for sure slap in on and play with it a bit. Or maybe even sell it and get some other neato stuff. lol

Please please please do your rear main seal and oil pan gasket correctly

I'd also attest to Fel-Pro being good for seals/gaskets.

If you assemble and install it for me, I'll let you be the one to blow it up ;-)

Street car mainly. Putting a tko 600 in when I do the turbos, once I get an r block 363 built, or blow it up, I'm going to switch to a c4 and drag it probably.

My sisters husband has a tuner that did his 438, he swears by him. Apparently he can give me a toggle switch setup for 3 tunes, economy, street and race, all for $400-$600. Just hit the switch and change the tune from the sounds of it.
