If you read through the thread you'll find head flow numbers, cam specs, dyno sheets etc... and probably some videos of the engine running on the dyno and in the car.

Ended up doing a custom TSP converter that flashes around 35-3600 but drives around really nice, and it has a 12 bolt Moser rear with 3.42's.
