car has about 900 miles on her. love the color and man the interior is about as nice as anything i have been in. car is in for some mods that include a new long block in the 426 inch area. based off the stock 6.1 block. heads are almost done. moving about 400 cfm peak at this point with a 2.100 intake and 1.59 exhaust. will have a converter/exhaust/intake also. she is fully coated with polydyn coatings. so i am expecting some decent numbers from this one. last one made 610/645 and was uncoated. here is some eye candy http://digitalremix.net/upload/uploads/3/FRI%20Grand%20Opening/FRI%20Stuff/20081027-DSC_0961.jpg

last one made 620 on a mild 218/224 cam... im only looking for 550 or so at the wheel on this one. drivetrain eats up about 18 percent. so that would or should be around 650 or so. cam is still mild...this is a computer friendly design. 223/227 .577 lift 114 lsa
heads move air. those numbers where on our bench. you know how that can change. stock they where in the 330 range.
i also agree...needs a good turbo kit.
converter uses pairs of two bolts. total of 6.
converter used is a reworked stock case. case is an unuasual shape and ois about 9.5 inches in diameter...stock. internals are differant. about 2800 stall.
converter is alot deeper than a normal converter you might be used to seeing.

its nice to work on. almost simple.
the tuning is the hard part in my book.
thats the head that we have gotten to 390 peak cfm. off a stock 2.080 intake valve. the valve is a ferrera piece from mopar.
starting on the intake today.

Cool project. I was drooling over a black one with the 6-sp with ~800 miles on it yesterday. I was at the dealer getting some things done on my truck and there was one in the showroom. Apparently the owner got it for himself and it's already had a tranny. He's not sure if he's keeping it but it's parked in the showroom for now.
