    You gotta promise me something Mike, when we meet up at a show with the wagons, we take them out and you give me an honest run, just once. I might loose alot of power sticking with the stock 670cfm TBI and a adapter plate to mount it to that 4bbl intake. I will also be loosing some power sticking with the stock manifolds. Will probably choke the 385hp down to 350hp but it will be better on the drivetrain that way. So you never know, it might be all bark and no bite, but I doubt it.

    I'm sticking with stock mani's too, Blackie. Headers are a pain in the tail and WAY expensive for my rig. I would LIKE them but it is SO much hassle and expense. I don't know if I will be cammed yet at the shows. I'm having a REAL hard time making up my mind which way I want to go. I MAY just leave it alone as good as it runs!

    You could do something simple to gain a little power, like swap out the TB for a larger MM one, larger Mass sensor and go with a CIA. All those little and easy things should be worth 20hp. As for the Headers, I agree, they are not worth the cost or effort for the little gains you get from them. They cook starters, rust out, leak and make the under hood temps too high. Sure they sound good, but the pros vs cons will always tell me to stay away from them.

    :agreed: Blackie...on all counts. Some things have been done. I love the sound even though it has no headers. It has Flow Masters that sound nice. It is home plate delete etc. I just need to make up my mind about the more performance type mods.
