    Those are some tall intake ports.
    Stay focused n getter done. Nothing like the smell of cam break in and fresh paint.

    30 some years ago a friend of mine tested the Offy along with some others. Bottom line was its not a very good choice. The rest is all proven stuff. Easy high 12s or low 13s maybe in the near future!

    Yea it's not a popular design by no means but it's what the customer supplied so that's what I gotta put on it,..hopefully no worse than a stock one,...I have a sp1 here but want to run the stock breather assembly

    It's been too long, but my recollection is it was worse than stock. Something about uneven flow to certain cylinders IIRC. There's always weight savings though.

    Nice! I can't wait to see this thing going down the road/track. Hopefully you/people get lots of videos. You should dashcam your journey there like guys do on YouTube.
