Mopar Grandpa: Astonishing ! just canīt find better word (my limited English) to describe your car. Beautiful color - nearly same as mine I think I have more space in my B-body for the engine. Could you tell me anything else about your engine - size, cam, carbs... JohnRR: No, now regretting it. I do not think that they cheated or anything but did they use spacers under the carb, how good dyno headers they have and such little things might mean some hp difference ? Just heard from another Finnish guy that he got a 572" Hemi from Barton and it went to the same Finnish dyno I have used. The difference was something like 10 hpīs ie. nothing...

If loss of torque is the issue, would Vanke mod 2x4 dual plane that's gasket matched make more torque than the Stage 5??
I can't imagine it , the stage 5 is supposed be good for 50HP over the stock dual plane?

Thank you for the compliments and without bragging (as I did not paint the car)the car looks a lot nicer than the pictures indicate.
The engine is a new MP 432 cu. in. with 10.25:1 Diamond pistons, hyd. Comp cam 244 duration with .534 & .517 lift, Legend 1 alum. heads, which breathe very, very good and it runs great on 92 octane pump gas. The carbs are Holley 4236.
I told Kenny at ICH that I wanted him to build me a very streetable engine but yet had the power to pull some stumps. I am not disappointed in the least. But again, the cross ram doesn't flow as well as the single high rise due to the size of the runners. However, for your street use I think it would work fine and look really nice. Although my engine makes a lot of power on the low end it pulls very, very strong on the big end too. It's never been down the 1320 (even though I'm at the track a lot)as the car will not hook and I'm not going to put a set of slicks on and rubber up the quarter panels and underside of the car.
Rick Allison at A&A is a great guy to work with and I bought the intake, carbs, linkage, bolts and intake plugs from him.
