            Impressive...Mine was way more overkill than that and didn't make anywhere near that kind of power. I think they forgot to mention they put a 150 shot on it. Seriously, I don't know how they got that much power out of it. I had bigger heads, bigger intake, bigger cam and more displacement. Maybe I just needed a Fast system on it....and a 150 shot.

              I'm not sure - but they really did a good job - it's to the point of tempting me to build a clone of that, with a slightly bigger cam. Cause it's not even that expensive!

                Very nice!! I plan on swapping engines in my TA here hopefully next Spring. Shes getting a 400 sbc. Sorry to say the TPI set up will be going bye bye. It's getting a big cam and a carb.
                I love the look...But I agree with James. Heck just the Edelbrock hi flow intake and runners were $650.00. TPI's are expensive! Its going in my Bro in laws Jeep, Taking out the 4.2L and in with the 5.0L TPI. haha!
                Looks very nice, I wasn't sure about doing it the same color, or just black. (lol...what happens if I repaint my car!)
                But it looks really good the same color! Great job!
