Beautiful work by WCCH, as always, now before you assemble this beast send it to Rick for the much larger intercooler with nitrous and meth spray bars.

I've been MIA for awhile and stumbled on your thread, and just read the whole thing. You will definitely be north of 600rwhp...I'm at 550/575 with my 383ci, 122hh @ 8lbs. With 408ci & 12lbs...please.
