Power is great. It averages 17 with a low of 15 high of 19. but its a 3/4 ton suburban. Its way beter than 10 i was getting out of the 350/TH400 set up.

Re: lets see some engine bays

Mine is still under construction...since these photos I have completed all the engine bay wiring (hidden), hung the fenders and inner fenders...but have yet to button things up and fire the engine for the first time.
