I will edit this when I get all my paper work from my builder.  I am sure I missed something you guys want to know.  I am just a little excited about the results that I couldn't wait to post. 

Think it will spin the tires?                     Jordan

What size headers were used w/that dyno?

What brand of hydr-roller lifters?

Nice numbers.  Especially w/a 6-pak.

Roller lifters and push rods are from Howards Cams in Oshkosh Wi.  I try to buy local when I can.  My builder loves these products and can drive to get them when time and mail conspired against us. 

The headers used for the dyno test were hooker competition fender well headers, but I was told they were 1 7/8.  I wondered if they were 2 inches though.  He said they fit around the dyno better.   I plan on using TTi 1 7/8 ceramic coated headers with a x-pipe 3" all the way back.

Awesome!  This is almost exactly the build I've settled on for my Roadrunner.  440 stroker, original six pack & intake (already have), stealth heads, roller Hyd cam & rockers, etc.  Makes me know I decided on the right combo.  What trans are you running, auto or manual?  I'm planning on a 4 or 5 speed and already have a 4.10 Dana for out back.  Should be a fun ride when we're done!  Definitely share whatever details you have, I can use them as a road map.
