Hi guys I just purchased #6243 and have been enjoying the car for just over a week now. It has been a blast, however I was expecting a little more considering what I was told of the engine. The car currently has an old Edelbrock F351 4v on it. I am wondering if it is time for a modern upgrade or if the intake is actually the week link in what seems to be a decent set up. Here are the rest of the specs of the motor that I know of.
351 C bored 0.30 over fitted with forged pistons, total seal gapless rings, sps rod bolts, high volume oil pump, double roller timing chain, crane 1.73 roller rockers, screw in studs, heads bowl ported with Manley stainless valves, multi angle valve job,GTS headers and mufflers, msd ignition, Holley 750 DP with no choke and a Crower cam with the following specs grind # 280-HDP "HI-DRAULIC HAULER" Intake 280, Exhaust 288. Intake lift .535, Exhaust lift .538. The heads I was told have been changed to quench heads but I can not confirm.
Anyways let me know what you think, if the intake is fine or if its time to upgrade.
Thanks
Otis
