Ok, this is like an AA meeting. You have to now confess your additiction to power and tell us what you have in detail smile
Ive got a 440 cube LS7, Darton block etc. Not many strokers around. A couple of guys with 382's but thats about it.
I think there are a few in the wings though.

Come on let it all out..

Really?

Anyway. Welcome to the rather unique club of utility owners here. You should've filled the back of the thing with goodies when you came over.

Are you sure its a Fast manifold as I didnt think they had released their intake for the L92 heads yet!?
Also if you have an intake then you must have a centrifugal blower smile

Yeah blowers on stock engines are zero point, as evidenced recently. On forged stuff though they have their place well above us mere NA mortals. I have been sternly spoken to after breaking down in Wales due to a dead clutch. So reliability is my new mantra.

Well you must've been involved with breathing heavy fumes at the strip. So what 1/4's are you running?

I'm juts getting a set of welds for mine and need a bit of advice for the fronts. With the 3.5" rims with 1.75" backspace and ET fronts, what's the brake set up that works? Cheers Mate.
