It runs fantastic and glad my buddy suggested trying it while we had it on the dyno. It made 580 hp and 590 torque.

The first E head motor in my 78 TA I ran an HO intake and the Qjet-done by Brad Urban's Carb Shop until I found an extra Shaker base to use a Demon/Holley after "massaging". Swapped an out of the box Demon 850 at the track WITH the adapter and picked up 0.3 seconds! Later added the T2 and picked up even more. The rear bowl adjusting area we had to graft in a section from a cheap drop base.
