Dan, I am the person you loaned the intake to. The other manifold was the Eld. Torker. It did poorly. You have done alot of work and the community should thank you for the info. I ran Halls big bore Headers that I cut off the collector that were way to small and redid them to accomidate a 2.5 inch pipe. I order mufflers from Stebro in Canada and attached new Ansa tips. The Stebro unites are 2.5 inlet and dual 2.5 outlet. They are estentially empty with only an inner wrapping of sound deading material held in place with stainless mesh. They are load but not outragious. When I dynoed my engine the Bluethunder intake HP curve was still going up at 6,500 RPM. Dennis at Pantera Performance said the Bluethunder intake will continue to make power up to 7,500 RPM. I decided that engine life at 7,500 was short and to Limit RPM to 6,200 as a result the 351 F was less money and a better fit. I was never able to get a HYD cam to work well and last year I installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge in the engine compartment. At idle 1,000 RPM my oil pressure is 80 PSI cold, 60 hot and that is running Redline 10-40. The gauge in the car says 45 cold and 30 hot.

I have not done much with the car for the last 6 years because I wanted to spend more time with my kids. This year we took the car to Pocano (rained out) very disapointing and Skip Barber in November. The Skip Barber event was put on by Porsche and BMW and was agreat event. The only problem I had was soft brakes. My project for the winter.

I have posted some brake related questions on this site but to date not allot of feedback. Do you know how I could get in contact with other Pantera owners that run their cars on the track?

Thank you for you input.
