Again, I couldn't agree more. The sheetmetal intake will most probably be a creation of my own. If I go that route. I have a couple ideas I am modeling on the computer. A friend of mine is one of the best welders I have ever seen. The tig welding isn't an issue. I also have a friend that owns a commercial machine shop. The machining will not be an issue. To top it all off they are both car guys. I may use a converted tunnel ram lower intake with a sheetmetal top. Either way I will use a single throttle blade. I would love to consider the AFR's. What are they going for these days? I've seen their adds for about 3200. Anyone know of any better deals? If I could get 1700 or 1800 out of the heads I have, I would consider a swap since I'm going to have the heads off anyway. If not I can always do them down the road. Let me summarize, everyone seems to think that the zz502 short block with AFR heads, cometic gaskets, EFI, and an intercooled pro-charcher F1 will do 15psi and make 1000hp. Also be absolutely reliable. Yes or No? Any comments on the EFI? Accel,BS3,etc.
