I moved to South Shore Marina......they won't let me put in a LIFT so the Scarab stays high and dry at Endeavour!

Nice. I'm assuming you are running bravos? What kind of hp do you think you're putting out?

454/502 mag mpi intake has more hp potential then a hp 500 efi intake (both modded). Ive made as much as 655hp/711 tq NA with one and over 1100 hp blown thru one fwiw, Smitty
