Well, the SLP runners and ported plenum made a difference, even on my 'lil 305. When I dyno'd it over at TTP, the HP was still pulling at 4100, and finally it went flat between 4500 and 5K. Some of that is the cam too; it's only .432/.459 lift. I think with a bigger TB and some more porting on the runners I could turn 5500 or so; that'll be enough for the cam I'm thinking of.
The Stealthram will be a future upgrade for sure, just not this year.

That is my plan. Plus, I will either sell the L98 heads that came with the motor, or maybe trade them into the machine shop for services rendered on the block. My S/R Torquer heads flow pretty good outta the box, but I may have them worked over a bit. Plus, they already have the screw-in studs and I believe the spring seats were already cut because these heads are supposed to be good for cams up to .560 lift. And, they only have 25K miles on them.
I will call Crane during the week and see what they say. Thanks again guys!
