I respect Smitty and all of his experience, but believe me in this application if I had stayed stock @ 3 PSI (maybe even 5) I would have an extra 100HP in a stock engine (running today). I went 6PSI Merlin heads bigger cam, roller rockers, the wrong pistons, exhaust but stock injectors with 3 re-programs. I also blew the drive. The second time around, I put in blower pistons up-graded the injectors all the rest of the goodies and a Dustin Whipple in-the-boat-tune. Runs great now!! Hopefully in the future as well. Tyler Crocket has taken many customers down this road properly and he will tune in your boat.
,I have fun with it,everytime someone ask though I give them the straight up truth so they know what they will probably end up doing. 7 years ago when I first bought my m-3sc and still had a 502 I could have never imagined I would end up where I am today with it,Smitty

what is that saying?? the road to hell is paved with good intentions?? hehehe
my plan is to keep it pretty mild -- i just want in the 75-78mph range. I was very content with that in my pantera.
if i wanted to go much faster -- i don't know that i'd want to do it in a PQ any how -- i'd probably go back to a pantera or some other true deep v.
thanks for all the advice guy's -- i haven't pulled the trigger ye t-- but i'm looking to do this over the winter.
