    From what i have heard and read....
    -Holley's are hell to get dialed in
    -Demon is best bang for buck

    Duoble pumper for stick shift, vac sec'y for automatic, as a general rule of thumb.

    as for size...technically, a 650 floes enough ari, but if top end all out is #1, an 850 might be OK, but you'll give up low RPM power and some throttle response and streetability.

    Where is some good information on this "Predator"? I'm not finding much info on it. Also, how do you hide it?

    Here ya' go Dean. And the best place I've found to hide them is under a box! (that oughta get the old goat!)
