poorboy, that's great info. I've always wanted a stroker. I don't mind leaving a little HP on the table and not have to deal with header clearance and other issues. Can't wait to see the results.

dogdays, more great info. I didn't know that about pulse tuning. I agree there's no magic number, I think I was just looking at it the wrong way. I'll just see what I get when the combo goes together. I'm sure I'll be happy.

FurryStump, I'd be happy with 400HP at the flywheel, so I should be good lol!

360view, I thought that was weird too using the same side manifolds...Must have been some reason, I just don't know what.

jerseybud, I think that would be a neat comparison!

Grizzly, trucks seem like they have a ton of room, but not in the frame area. Drivers side you're fighting automatic shift linkage, trans kick down linkage and the frame. Manifolds eliminate all that plus I'll just about never have to touch them again. My truck is dropped about 5-6" and running 17's so it does sit low, another reason for more clearance.
