red, you're building a 422? oxi, just a 200 shot??? you scared or somethin? parish....i don't know it 10s with your setup are realistic or not, maybe if you go with a different charger maybe an intercooled one. i'm thinking of a D1-SC for mine and then maybe 150-200 shot on that. finally paid off my loan and now i have all this extra money and NOTHING BETTER TO SPEND IT ON!!!

No mine wont be quite that big. Silent1 is building the 422. He has alot of nice parts going into the damn thing. When ever i get back on my feet and get mine done it should be about the same size as Oxi's except i am going to try about 25 to 50 hp more of juice through mine.

Red2k:
Where's Paso Robles? i'm always down for a race... street style or on a track? ...If its soon i'll run the stock rear-end and suspension again...stock internals an the "new" shot. Should be fun... or i can break the seals and slap the new heads and cam on the stock bottom-end ... whatever
EGR MOD(s)
1. Remove the TB and you will see the EGR tube obstuct airflow... remove the tube from the manifold and shorten it ... becareful of the factory joint ... cut too far and it will not seal
2. Where the EGR meets the solenoid make a restrictor using some thin metal and reduce he size of the hole but insure the pintle needle can still move freely..

Re: Best Performance Upgrades Dollar for Dollar
i measured everything for a 4 link on my truck with stock rearend a few weeks ago and it's pretty tight...that's why i thought about a 12 bolt that already has 4 link brackets on it to make it a little easier. as for the 2 20# bottles they wont do you much good when you aren't running enough of a shot.hehehe...just diggin at ya. 300 shot or bust!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oxi- I dont know where it is yet, gotta look at a map. I am going there for Mondelo's head porting school. I have two friends that went to it and they liked it. Well Shannon was kinda bored since he out flowed Mondelo but he has been doing it all his life to.
Slow- man your talking about quite a big shot there palsy. You better have everything just right for a shot that big unless you plan on trailering it home. Even with a forged bottum end that is alot of juice. I think i would invest in some damn strong sleeves and bad *** machining so everything is just right. Just my $.02
