Resurface your fanuter valve and replace your reverse spline impact bearing with a high density model and you'll be good to go.

Also, I did an aFe intake, MBRP catback, gibson shortys (cracked stock manifold, at least it sounds better now) a hypertech programmer, and some better fluids. I have a performance distributors coil pack and wires as well as racing stripes waiting for me when I get back so I expect to out run hemi's just off of the shelby inspired racing stripes alone. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with aerodynamics

Change gears for the apperance of more power.
X2...I have a AEV snorkel, K&N drop, viper throttle body and exhaust, run only premium fuel and sythetic for what its worth, and still nothing.

Like he said, supercharger or HEMI.

I'm running 35's on 4.10 gears and have had my RIPP supercharger on for a couple months now. The performance gains are awesome and I have no intent on replacing the gears until I trash them. Before the SC, I would agree that going to 5.13 gears would be a good idea, but with the SC I've had no problems getting up to speed and maintaining it.

Anyone actually do any independent dynos to see what the increases are?
