When you pay big dollars something always seems to go faster. Seat of the pants doesn't count.

Oops was the predicesor to this wouldn't have happened if you'd been paying attention. Just changing things up. Suppose I could be like every other gear head on the net and list every nut bolt and screw that I've got into my 400" but as I mentioned I don't paid to advertise.

You want max horsepower?....you cant do it with air filters and baffels in the pipes.....Leave them off and you know its maxed out.

Race cars don't use them, at least mine don't

Did you have your wallet with you while driving the car before and after the swap?
If so the power gain you're feeling probably comes from the weight loss
