I learned my lesson lolI have sorted out what I am getting too.. I am getting an Atomic 698kw short motor, race girdle, billet oil pump gears, atomic harmonic balancer and getting the head reconditioned.. also got new power steering pump as mine started leaking and new coil packs.. will also be getting new spark plugs and any other little things I need..cant wait for this to start happening and the motor should be out next week some time and off to atomic..

All you're doing is altering the intake, which shouldn't make a difference?Either way, good to see you're building it bigger and better.What kind of clutch do you have?
