I'm running a custom solid roller/284-288 - lift is .750I & .690E with my 325 KRE's on my 508.
Tons of grunt....and I too need bigger headers !!
This is my second set of KRE D-ports.

Tanner, Since Rusk has closed and Shreveport is no longer running we are running at Pine Valley in Lufkin. That's the closest to us. I'm waiting for Crandle to open and will want to try it. Let me know somtime we can make a date.
