But it should make more power than the iron engine as it is 37ci bigger, more cam, more intake, more head flow, and the car should be about 100 pounds lighter. And if that doesn't do it, I still have the blue bottle with a selection of jets to try out.

Just busting your chops, that's totally bad azz. I can't wait to hear about the shake down passes. Hopefully you'll have some in car video too. Steve
