Torque Tech 3.00" works.

No ET or MPH change.

They say you have to use offset inlet/center outlet mufflers to make the Flowmaster tailpipes work.

So TA Man, you prove that the KRE 290 heads are providing good enough performance so that you may not have much to gain if at all by getting your heads ported to 305 or so.

Odds are high it would run faster with a little more head.

I had a good discussion last time at the dragstrip about headflow...Another fellow Pontiac racer insisted more head flow is always good...I disagreed it is not always better..all depends on the combination...
