I thought so, but isn't there a few different lobes?

There's more Comp lobes with 224* @ .05'' out there than you can count on your fingers and toes.

Yeah, Thunder supplies Comp with the specs on what they want and Comp grinds them for them. I think thats how it works.

I would consider a swap, just don't want to kill the lowend. HP is good for light cars but, not these heavy trucks

no way. Sorry. Not through those manifolds. Not through stock exhuast.
There is no damn way they did that and kept a "faint" idle.

I'm not sure how much a tune picks up on an LQ9, but it cant be more than 15hp. 80hp magic stick ehh?

Ummm, a tune can get a lot more than 15hp on any motor. I picked up 30hp on mine when I had it tuned.

Allen is a straight forward guy, always has been with me. I don't think he would tell stories. I am sure there was some ***. not on the motor on the dyno also, power steering and a/c.
