Hi Dan thanks for replying. That sounds great. Car is going in for a cage in the next month, then work on the motor begins. 2-4 weeks turnaround time will be fine with me, my goal is to start the car and begin tunning after the holidays. Still debating on the Big Chiefs, 14 or 18 degree, also looking at another possible combination. I will have everything figured out by the end of this month at the latest and I will go ahead and order then.

I will need to count on your expertise to suggest a design (stepped, et cetera.) I will call to discuss in 3-4 weeks.

Thanks.
