I do have 3.73's and i am sure that i will beat him when i adjust my timing tomorrow. I dont really know what i run considering the nearest track is about 2 hours from me :-( What kinnd of pwer do you think i am making, hopefully at least 280, including the little things like pullies, cold air etc. That port and polish alone should give some decent power, and yes a upper and lower intake is on the list, lol.

The ticking noise is from the valve train but i have just put in all new lifters, rods, and rocker arms. I have heard that a cam change in conjusntion with valve job/s can cause the rods to be a little short so i am going to have a machine shop make me a custom set about .015 longer than stock to stop the ticking valves,sound right??
