What kind of real world mileage are you seeing out of it?
I'm playing with the idea(in my head at the moment) of pistons and either a whipple or turbo.

Don't worry tierod your not the only one, my engines coming out next year for some crazyness. Just finished cleaning up the heads, putting ARP head studs in it, cometic mls head gaskets, and powder coating just about all I could on the motor. I got a set of stainless works long tubes to put on and fab the rest of my exhaust then efi live or hp tuners here I come. I gotta rebuild my front diff first, got a set of motive 4.10's and an eaton e locker to put in.
