    Very true. That's why I did the LIM, SC, and TB porting first. That, combined with 1.9 rockers, and already having a plog and 2.5" DP, I'm hoping for good things.

    That combo, I could see getting into the 13's, While scanning, I can actually see when my Exhaust becomes a restriction (3320 RPM roughly on my motor) I believe with exhaust work, there is a lot to be had with the top swap without having to use small pullies

    I'm starting on the 3.8" and going to see how tuning goes. It's modular, so swapping to another size is cake.

    Nice, after my headers go in(they have been in my room since early January) I'm gonna get a modular hub, and try a 3.6, and maybe a 3.5 pulley, we will see how well my motor likes the headers

    I'm going to get (most likely) Pacesetters eventually. After the top swap the next big project is a TEP trans. I don't see mine being too happy with me for too long. I put a shift kit in it to keep it from burning up the clutches. Now it's up to the hard parts.
