I normally agree but this car will have as much weight removed from the car so I won't have an engine harness injectors dash harness or computer or inlet tube ,mass air or TB , fuel rAils ,upper intake plenum.. All these parts add up in weight and I need all the help I can get as I will not have a big powerful, high HP car ..

Nice. Any good numbers out of the OTS hyd rollers in 302,306 or stroked combinations?

OP may prefer this cut as it has more exhaust lift and duration (the isky) than the hitech which the nitrous MAY like, depending on cylinder head and header used...


Bring it to me, Daniel. I will make it bark.

There is none equal to hitech, in my opinion, however.
