Yeah, it's a little obnoxious without mufflers. I can't wait to fine tune it and see what it can do.

Sweet! That's sounds good!

Thanks Sean! Nothing special there, just a good size hydraulic cam.

A visit to Roger's Exhaust shop (Fontana) got the db's down. $700 out the door for everything. I went with 3" pipe and I love how it came out and how it sounds!

Roger has a pro charged Ultra that he runs in Blythe. Cool guys that do really nice work reasonably!

Next stop Engine dynamics this Friday to have John Avery tweak the tune to perfection to wrap things up. In the future I'll get some cheater slicks and 35 spline axles, but I'll try it as is at the drags possibly next month. Who wants to go?

Looks real good. I want mine to be a little louder but I don't want to redo the pipe, it's all new.

What size pipe do you have? What mufflers?

Quite a few chevelles on Hot Boat I see. Mine was re piped in 2000 if memory serves me correctly. Pretty radical at the time, 3" mandrel bent x pipe with 3 chamber flows, up and over rear diff and side exit. Its definitely a unique sound with the x and my whiny small block. Hot boat fontana trip?

I like your car! Do you have bigger axles on it? How much convertor is in there?

I'm in for a Fontana Hotboat day. You in Vic?

I ended up building a 12 bolt for it with an auburn unit, 33 spline Tom's Axles, ford housing ends so no pesky c clips. Its an 8" 4000 stall by ATI, does pretty good on the street actually, I drive it from OC to Fontana, no trailer for this thing. 3.91 gear, 4k stall, 28 inch tall tire, so.... certainly in the right hand lanes on the way there though. She does alright for a naturally aspirated iron head small block
