    Guys,

    I'd like to suggest you read the following book:

    "Scientific Design of Exhaust and Intake Systems"

    Philip H. Smith C.Eng., M.I. Mech E., M.S.A.E.
    John C. Morrison B.Sc., Ph.D., C. Eng., M.I. Mech. E.

    They spent 40 plus years designing, testing and racing all types of Internal Combustion engines. Read the book and you'll find LOTS of hidden horsepower.

    See you at the starting line!!!!!

    Ron

    Your g***er sounds like a neat project as well. I think I'm going to try to make the show at Tinker, if nothing else I might leave the truck at home and spectate.

    It may not work as good as it could BUT, It sure does make it look like it's a real killer

    I have been somewhat surprised that there have been so many comments about the intake. I made the plenumn with studs on the bottom so it bolts to flanges on the ends of the runners. My friends, Sam and Joe at Woodard Racing and Hot Rods, put the runners together for me. I can easily change from a 4x2 to 3x2 or even a 2x2 plenumn just by bolting it on.

    There are a lot of unknowns to be figured out with my combination. For instance, I decided to start with a milder cam (.600 lift and 309 duration), but Comp Cams says that they can build one that is closer to .670 lift and 339 duration. I am just hoping that I do not have to build billet rockers to run what I have now.

    I have the long exhaust pipes on it now, but I can change to a shorter exhaust for tuning if I do not like the torque curve I get. So yes, I will get to spend a lot of time at the track to get it tuned right, just like everyone else.

    I will be running my car not only with Hiney and the Senior Drag Racing ***ociation but also with the Central State G***er ***ociation. So I will get a lot of track time with Sam and all the g***er guys to help me sort things out. I may have another friend, David Morris scale the car just to see where I am at when he aligns the front end.

    I am not a "lone wolf" by any means, I really enjoy hanging out with my buddies and racing that quarter mile. I hope to see all of you guys out there and we can talk shop. Ron.
