It made peak power at 7400 rpms Whats your set up... small blocks like RPM because they dont make the torque... but you need the heads and induction to spin it EDIT if you make peak HP at 7400 you would like to cross the line at 10% higher than that Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 03/09/12 01:56 AM.

I've decided to throw my $500 at a set of Afcos instead. Point being, you might be better to think where the money could be better spent.
