Are they stepped or straight 1 7/8"? Either way they ought to be kick-*** for your radical engine. I'll be looking forward to see how it works out for you. EM makes a very good product. What are you currently running for headers?

the engine in the car is a stock lt1 with shorties and gregs complete water alki system and gregs tune. greg used my car as a proto for his 8 rib belt system. car dyno'ed at 404rwhp and 403 rwtq. at 13 psi. greg and i were just waiting for the piston to blow but it still stays together. the new engine has the best of everything in it. all bearing, rod, mains and cam bearing are all tefflon coated. pistons are custom made with cermic coated tops and tefflon sides. looking to make some power with the new engine and the trans is raptures 4l80e trans and their computer to take it. merle and i talked about the step up and merle said not to go with them.
