I've been so excited thinking about the wieght loss I didn't even think of exhaust holes. Are you still interested in the silent choice let me know?

You may need them with those engines they will be louder than your old ones but If you do get rid of them let me know.

Hidden costs like Paradigm shift said take the price and double it. Don't worry though I think you are still getting a square deal. Just promise you are not going to go faster than me I can't afford it this year.

I just want to get over the 75 mph mark, when you do that you are usually faster that most. I would like to take it for one last ride with the big blocks. That is after I have the props refinished. I know they weren't to bad but knicks are knicks and every little bit helps. Unfortunatly if rerun keeps growing at his rate the the small blocks won't even make a difference.

My (pretty mild) 383 made 466 ft-lbs of torque @ 4,300 RPMs...with over 400 ft-lbs from 2,500 RPMs up.

It idles nice, and has been turn-key everytime. I went with aluminum heads, intake, and exhaust manifolds (EMI) which probably knocked off a couple hundred pounds...
