Makes a ton of mid range, torque line on the chassis dyno peaks at a shade over 500. Seems the bigger engines react well to the 110 lsa, first one I've tried and the torque increase was a big surprise!!!!! When I win the lottery I'll just drop ship that 800" block and the hemi heads to ya Pat!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:
