thats a great tool pete, angus i hear ya Im building this one pretty skinny too, im thinking 530 gonna look like a rappers bling with how big it is. :laugh:

ported, rephased, cam grind, velocity stacks, VM34's custom intake (ceramic coated) tuned length headers.. pamco ignition, iridium spark plugs. its not so much the horsepower issue, but rather putting it where its usable for what I want. I want to have lower rpms at highway speeds of...

yeah i was thinking i'd do the same with the tensioner.. are you running 520 or 530?

Hey guys well its time to start thinking about sprockets and chains as Ive just about buttoned the engine all up. Im looking for something that'll run at 70-75mph and higher freeway speeds but something thats not crazy high in the rpms. i was thinking of getting the 31tooth rear to go with...
