Give up a little TQ for better HP up top.

The overdrive pulley is a good idea, with the high temps here in Ne. In the summer, I change to a 160 degree thermostat.

I do have a 100 amp alt. Sometimes with the old alt., after the car was warmed up or after getting on it, if I stopped for gas, she did not want to start so, I did buy a retard box for start up's but, haven't installed it yet.

Kevin,

Vic Jr. is a fairly high RPM intake for street use. May not be such a bad idea to let Keith swap that out for you. Whatever you do, you'll need to decide before Keith start building your engine. If he is using your existing intake for example, it may cause him to pick a different CAM then if he is choosing all of the parts.
