Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 I never did say how much I like the custom speaker bumps in the door panels. Very nice. Also, what are you using the TBI air cleaner for? 2 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'd like to get me one of those 454 SS trucks. My favorite truck ever was my 1974 C30 camper special short cab dually with 454 and TH400. It would do burnouts and I could drift it like crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment

Still waiting on word is second crank is good. I don't know how good of an engine builder you are, but a good builder will knock the sharp edges off the piston domes before engine assembly. I usually radius the edge a bit more than just taking the edge off. This helps with flow a tiny bit, but helps a lot with detonation prevention. 2 Quote Link to comment

I am learning but a good friend of mine is coaching me and will do the final build and blueprint. 400 RWHP minimum to rear tires all day. 3 Quote Link to comment

The smaller one is a KA TPS and as you can see it could be made to work but now I'm looking at scrapping the manifold and going with a Plazmaman one. But its costly and will require more time to redo some things. Stay tuned. 3 Quote Link to comment
