Your biggest issue will be the exhaust manifolds.. spend
the money to have them extruded honed... look at good muffs
and make sure you use mandrel bent exhaust... dont know if
you can move the mufflers to the back bumper but the exhaust
is cooler that far back and is easier to get cooler exhaust
thru the muffs... also as far as FAST guys.. most of those
guys are running strokers..it only has to look stock.. if
you make TQ then you just need to control it... I would
rather have to control the TQ than not have it.... JMO
