He said the car was worked on and reached 476hp on a dyno and turned 11.47 @ 118mph in a quarter mile. We spent a lot of time chasing down the previous owner he says the heads were worked on by a well known shop while it was at Carlisle in 2003. The heads were shaved to proper CC's plus new springs, keepers & retainers and a 3 angle valve job(?) what ever that is. I contacted the shop and they verified all. All told they did a nice job. A 3.73:1 rears was installed. So what I'm getting at is will a different intake help me, is it worth the outlay?
?
Hot Rod Mag tested a bunch of intakes a few years ago. It is hard to believe
but the MSD intake made over 30 hp (engine on stand). I did a dyno
and it did make that much hp. So yes , you can pick up a lot of hp
with the right intake and throttle body. ( there are other intakes that can
make good hp ie Fast).
