Rob, when are you getting the new injectors in? and are you going to do the valve spring swap? I'm curious to see the outcome.

Injectors (60's) will be at Sals shop Monday
THANKS SAL AND ALAN (Injector Dude)
If all goes well, injectors, new plugs, maybe a change here or there,
Re-tuning and Dyno's all will be done this upcoming week. (if all goes well)

As for Springs, we're waiting on Charles for that Tool and do have plans to do Springs and Cams in the Winter, I WILL NOT pay the labor to only do springs. So if and when it happens, cams will go in too

There was one around here with Vortech on it. My buddy with pretty much the same mods as I have put a real bad woopin on him. I have to say that the owner of the Dodge is a really nice guy though.

Their off-road projects are pretty cool sometimes.
