Dustin, I have the same engine from Eric in my SPF and a couple of things that I have learned. The little air cleaner is very restrictive. If you check the K&N web site they have a formula to calculate filter area required. The oval that Eric puts on is less than half what K & N recomends. The issue as you can see is not a lot of room. I put on a 14 x 3 with a drop base and it is a lot closer to what the engine needs.

Another item is the SPF pipes cost you about 50 HP. When Eric dynos the engine it is with out air filter or the pipes. There are some that are working on pipe upgrades that should help this issue.

Also In that our motors have the Hyd. Roller cam I would not go over the 6400 that you have. The lifters are heavy and that is about the safe limit.

Other than that the Drag Radials will help. I know of a couple of guys that use them and they work pretty good. I have not done it yet, but will. Also alot of the guys are going to 3:08 or 3:27 Rear Gears, and they all have liked the change.

I think this is a great combination for a small block and it can play with the big blocks very well.
