Charlotte,

You're my kind of girl (err... woman) with my kind of engine!
Coincidentally I just downloaded all your pics just yesterday. Check out
my site and you'll know why ( http://home.earthlink.net/Pantera ). Let
us know how she runs. I'll be really surprised if you get 400 hp unless
they also worked on the cams, but who knows, maybe the stock manifold is
as bad as they say. My guess is no more than 325 at the rear wheels
(that would be ~380 crank), and you'll be more than happy with that!
Also, make sure you have a really good air cleaner on those stacks (see
my mid-engine engine wear post). Keep me (us) posted on your progress.

Richard
