I wish I could get the videos but that will be a problem. I will have an idle clip coming soon. I have a baby shower tomorrow I have to go to, after that, maybe I can get a sound clip for the Giant.

This thing is an absolute BEAST even wit hthe stock heads. I let it run through 2nd and into 3rd a little bit. It never stopped pulling, even past the 100 mark!

I can't wait to see whats going to happen with whats coming!

I've considered shaving the heads that will go on to bump the compression up to about 12.5 or so. I've been told that's to much, but I don't think it is. I'm runing 26-28* with no KR so far. I've not had a chance to lean it out or see if I can get anymore timing out of it.

On the Wood Haulers lil 408, he's right at the same compression you are now, and his runs at 28-29* with no KR, with afr dead nuts on 13:1.

Yea .... the ex is throwing me and the wife a baby shower, but that's a whole new story.

The truck ... I think I forgot to answer a question, Pacesetter headers and 2 1/2 inch pipes into a pair of Hoooker Aero Chambers dumped in front of the rear axle.

I would like to put a pair of 3" pipes in there, but I might hang on to the 2.5 for a while just cause.
