OK THIS SUCKS. I WENT TO INSTALL THE RELO AND I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS BUILT INTO MY MAF. I CALLED JET AND THEY SAID IT WAS FOR THE 350. WHEN I TOLD THEM IT WAS FOR A 200O THEY SAID IT WOULD WORK. ASK MORE QUESTIONS NEXT TIME I GUESS. I FOUND HEADERS FOR LESS THAN $300 FOR MY TRUCK WITH A Y PIPE. ANY OTHER IDEA FOR CHEAP FOR NOW?

He has made a few passes on the 1/8 track but hasn't made it over to the 1/4 yet. We will probablly both go to the 1/4 shortly since I just got a deal on a dry kit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

BTW Hyde... here is the guy we are talking about's page http://www.sshotrods.com (although it was in the second post on this thread <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

WELL THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO BUT NOW THE CAM IS PUSHED BACK. I FOUND OUT I HAD 3,42 WITH OUT EVEN LIMITED SLIP TODAY. THAT JUST ADDED TO THE LOWERING OF MY CHECKING. I HAVE A K@N AND FLOWMASTER 40 SERIES. HEADERS FROM EDLEBROCK SHOULD BE IN THE MAIL. WHAT ARE SOME STUFF I CAN DO THAT ARE FAIRLY CHEAP{ UNDER $400} THAT I CAN START WITH. I GUESS I WILL JUST GO FOR A STOP LIGHT TO STOP LIGHT TRUCK <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
