Ive did it. Its not cheap by any means but the results i have got are very satisifing and not many others even know what it is or what it sounds like. The philosohies are the same, make its breath better, and take away things that you dont need and improve. Ive got syn. oil in most everything, i bet i gained 20hp from that and got at least another mile to the gallon.

I've got that book, very interesting, one of few books that I liked enough to read it cover to cover. Was going to use it to hop up the C10, but decided to run it stock until I pick up another engine.

The description of the hybrid head made from two smallblock V8 heads was very interesting, if I had a bunch of heads to waste I might be interested in trying to make one.
