If your gonna spray it you might as well build it that way now rather than do it agian later. leave the 3.55 gear, 4200 - 4500 convertor (I would error on the low side w/ spray), 2 inch primary headers MINIMUM 3.5 inch collector, I would give Patrick a call at Pro Systems, we have had great results with his 1170.As everyone else has mentioned the Victor intake would help a bunch, but if your patiently awaiting the Trickflow there is no reason to spend the money twice.

Having a 3.55/1 rear gear with a 29 inch tall tire at 6,500 RPM finish line engine speed, (dictated by his camshaft), is about 150 MPH and I am pretty sure this combination will NEVER get that fast in a 1/4 mile much less the 1/8 mile strip he intends to run.
He NEEDS more gear ... nitrous or not. Unless he intends to use the "less gear ratio" as a crutch at the starting line for traction. With a Powerglide, I don't think that will be a problem.

Mines been 150 and its milder than his, so never say never. More gear is worse if you cant hook it since it takes longer for the car to catch up with the wheel speed, ask me how I know.

The Blue thunder dominator duel plane worked almost as good as the port o sinic. I called and begged Vic Edelbrock for a couple months to concider building us a manifold, He kept saying it is gonna cost $3000 for the molds so I told him Damint go for it I will buy them and we will make a deal 60% 40%...... Well you know how that turned out........ But at least we have a few manifold choices now.... and as far as I am concerned a Port O sonic is a good Irrigation intake and nothing else....


I went to Holley, Wiend, Blue Thunder, and Edelbrock..... Hell if I could have figured a way to get the molds and have them finished I would have done them myself...... after about 6 months I got a call from edelbrocks shop forman (Schmitty) and was informed the were in full production and over 6 months behind on back orders.... Imagine that?
