Jim-

Thanks for the info., definately some new, and very useful information. Kook's Custom headers did my headers originally for my 89. All I had to do was weld some extensions on 2 of the tubes to clear my steering rack on my 01'.

As far as the motor the 815 hp is actually at the flywheel, not the rear wheels. At the time that was all that was available.

Bennett Racing was very impressed/surprised by the numbers. We originally were anticipating around 740 hp, which is typical for a motor with Nascar takeoffs. I must have gotten lucky with the heads as it makes the $3000 I spent on the heads, Jesel J2K rockers, and intake seem pretty cheap to me.

Neither my pistons nor Combustion Chambers are coated and I don't have roller bearings either. With the right air and some more chassis and motor tuning I am really shooting for high eights before I put the nitrous to it. We shall see I guess!

Again, thanks for the info. VERY HELPFUL!
