When do you plan to dyno and what numbers do you expect?
Yeah that was the quote. And watching your last left and down the straight proved it.

Dyno's somewhat unknown. Shooting for 550 rwhp and a tall/flat torque curve. Getting rid of the Ti rods added a little weight, but the whole assy is weight matched and Crower rods are are called Maxi Lights. I did keep the lightweight valvetrain, so if a I get a lttle less top end but gobs of upper torque I should be good. Let me know what you think?

So true. AFAIK, the intake has a bigger effect than the TB. A big TB on a stock intake is like putting a paper towel roll up to your nose.

Let me know on the spiral Phillip!
