And don't kid yourself flow through the intake tract is every thing on a stocker. What your time worth? As a side note, theres no old school small block Chevy head that responds (flows) like certain castings of the 441 used on that 255 HP combo, head porters know exactly what I'am talking about!

and that welding can be detected if NHRA wanted it to be.
