No, I meant output shafts on your transmission, followed by drive shaft and/or diff and half shafts, U joints. You don't have a 6 link or safety hoops so it's going to flail the hell out of everything along the way to self-destruction . . . your motor should be fine.

Agreed. Then again, if life goes as planned, Cambria will never see that much wheel hp. I would wait till I had the Camaro to intercool.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not.

Master of sarcasm that I am, I'll go with no on this one. I think he was being complimentary. I'm the one who makes fun of you.

Now what fun would that be?

Enkeivette....you built it strong, MLS gaskets would have been my requirement at the build point...water under the bridge. BTW, I have an appointment with the dyno Saturday. Maybe with a tighter belt I can get real numbers this time. (last run I stopped at 4,600. 539/493 wheel tq/hp.)
