V35b,

I have SP1591 witha 351W, the std. 3.73 rearend and the .68 Tremec 3550. The car is a nice blend of easy in traffic, and cruises effortlessly at 1900 rpm at 60mph. I went with a milder cam 432tq. 451hp. for good lowend pull and for my now in-process Weber IDA upgrade. I originally was looking at the 385hp FMS but went with a custom built motor. Mainly for the warrenty and the extra perfromance. The FMS heads are more restrictive than the top heads out on the market like AFR and Trick Flow. Enjoy the process, I put my own motor in (first time doing anything like that) and enjoyed every minute of it. It took me about 32hrs. from start o finish.

Chuck
