so youre saying you run a 272 cam on stock valvetrain for an everyday car? i wonder how long that lasted i never said it wouldnt fit. what i meant was that running such a high lift cam on stock valve springs and retainers runs a very high risk of binding (if you know what that is). also about backpressure, without the header it may have generated greater overall hp but what about the torque curve? remember this is an everyday car he is driving!! not to mention the fact that even if he did remove the exhaust how much power would that actually give him? maybe 1/10 off his quarter. also about dropping weight. the guy clearly stated he has all the body kit, and sounds he needs so now he wants the go portion. nowhere in that post did it mention that he would consider removing any of it for a faster quarter mile. and i doubt he would consider it because of the time and money spent on that kind of stuff. i read your posts twice over and yes you did state he must lose weight but when being asked a question you answer in a way that suits the person asking the question. and i highly doubt this guy wants to hear that he has to lose his show and sounds for a quicker quarter time.

oh and Swonder im glad you are enjoying yourself
