You don't need one,a drill and a jigsaw or a good pair of tin snips will work just fine. You can buy a dremel which is a name brand rotary tool. Sears, Harbour freight, Lowes, Home Depot all sell them. You can also buy a cut lid so you can keep your original one uncut for $40.00 from Mid America.

my set up is different being a 6spd,but the only engine work I have is the hotcam kit mated to a full exhaust.I have not gotten an 11 sec pass(low 12's) due to my crappy 1.90 60' time, however I am trapping a hair shy of 115mph.So I'm in the group that says you dont have to go crazy to acheive 11's,with out the help of nitrous.

I can't run the nitrous at the track because of the convertible top. I am currently looking for a hard top. If I had to guess I would say about 8 to 10 runs. I'm going to the track on Sunday. I may try to sneak in the last run on the bottle.

The Hotcam has a nice lope but it's not radical.
Unfortunately, I don't have a 1/4 mile track less than a three hour drive from me. But my 1/8th mile times tell me that 11s are right there. I run the Hotcam but it's on a 388 stroker with worked heads. I don't use NO2. I also have only 3.07 gears and so I believe that a Hotcammed 350 could hit 11s with proper gearing and such with no problem.

Lope is not bad. My short block is all stock. Keep in mind I have weld wheels and et street bias ply tires. Those tires and wheels are worth 2 tenths.
