looking great! what kind of numbers do you expect out of this?

top photos were teasing. it looked like an engine with just a different intake on it, i was hoping there was something else. lol

all the same engine was doing alot of mock up the big throttle body setup is going back in truck with raylar long block. I have a t6 rear mount. it is going to get tuned with that setup, then imma work on fabbing up the twin setup in the truck.

I also am putting in a 1 ton corp 14 bolt new clutch and making updates to fuel system

The old setup with ported heads and zz502 cam made 640 rwhp and 680 rwtq on 6 lbs. Hoping for at least a 1000 rwhp with new motor. then put the twins on and see if i can squeeze some more out of it.

Sorry for the stupid question but are you keeping the rear mount and putting twins on it? Would be a pretty bad *** setup.

nah just doing twins, rear mount taking up alot of real estate under the truck etc

I am almost debating doing the twin 5 inch out out the hood and cutouts to run it thru a dual 4 inch system while cruising. Then if something happens while racing i can see it or not see depending how bad it is and blows all over windshield
