BOTH Na just kiddingno thats an old saying from the late 50's thur the 60's that us old motorheads used to Identify different engines and what not
small block chevy = stove bolt
small block ford = Y block
small block buick = nail head
big block chevy = rat motor
big block chrysler hemi = elephant
or
GTO = get your tools out
MOPAR = most obsolete parts around
GMC = garage mans companion
FORD = first on race day OR F=cking Okies really digg'em
ya know just slang and saying's
and it also tells me from your statement , not saying your not ( well can't say old ) age challenged, but your not an old motorhead !
What I enjoy about this forum is it's spirit and of the people using it, sure it has it's sniveler's whom are defeatists , but it also has people like you and RIPP that will take the challenge and say why not.

Thanks for pointing that out, we’ve already been looking into the aspiration side of the 3.8 for some time now. We do an awful amount of testing here, as mentioned we are a seasoned speed shop along with manufacturing… before we let product out we make sure its tested and consistent, and I think that’s shows with our growing client list and all the wonderful things they have to say. When the tech guys are ready to release data on the aspiration side of thing I will be sure to post it in an informative
manner.
On the contrary… we find the weakness to be the cylinder heads port size in… we have pumped boost into the engine and it simply doesn’t flow through the heads. These heads look like they are from another time…

I really appreciate your jumping in here and answering our questions and addrssing our concerns. I confess that a 6.1 Hemi would be ideal but I don't see it fitting in the budget any time soon. Something to do with the wife wanting to remodel the kitchen. But an SC I could see happening.
I'd like a bit more HP and torque than you are currently producing. Do you think porting and polishing the heads will make a big difference? Would you consider selling a kit supplying ported heads with your SC on an exchange basis? And if we're swapping out heads it would be no additional effort to swap the intake manifold at the same time if an intake change would be beneficial.
How about the work you mentioned doing with different pully sizes?
I am very very interested in your SC.
