WENT 350

I am putting the 305 in storage for a rainey day, I went with a 4 bolt main 350. With the aluminum heads and stealth ram along with the Paxton it should really wake the car up.

Re: WENT 350

I have the exact same story! Although, I gave away my 305. And, no Paxton.

It is. A STB is out of the question now unless you want to do serious surgery to the HSR. I've seen that done but could never find any facts as to how it affects performance.

Re: WENT 350

If I add a Strut bar brace it will need to be custom fabricated. The HSR will fit under the hood but the clearance will be minimal
