Outstanding. Here's to hoping this setup sets a new benchmark for "budget" builds given the relative low pricing of key components used.

"Budget" build is relative I guess. By the itme you get AR 1 7/8 LT's and a $1,100 RAM DD clutch, Comp 921's it's not so "budget" anymore. We did do everything first class.

I was going more for the heads/manifold setup part. Granted, NOTHING is inexpensive, but for what the heads/manifold cost and how they compare to MUCH more expensive options, budget comes to mind.
