    Oh I know...but you did get me thinking that it may not hold under a lot of boost! :doh:

    Yep, doing pretty well. The van is getting painted currently (first time since new!) and looking at EFI and Turbo in the next few years. Nothing massive, just enough for high 11's with only a swap to slicks at the track and 15 mpg on the freeway :)

    I dig the 94 Dak. Always liked that body style. She sits level when not on the driveway? More pics! :) Sweet looking engine. What happened to the challenger?

    EFI and turbo is the only way to go!!!

    I sold the rolling chassis and then the motor and transmission....

    First test on tuning it is making 8 lbs of boost at 5000 rpms! Gonna up the boost to 10 lbs.
