Hi all,

well took the first ride in my 78 after installing new 64cc 2.02 heads new voodoo 60103 cam, weiand stealth intake, holley street avenger carb and real duel exhust.

And WOW  thats the way a corvette should be!!

its alot faster then it was with that dog 185hp setup, I wonder what the hp is now?

Thanks too all for the GREAT advice on what to install its going to much more fun to drive.

again much thanks too all!!!

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

Good news!  Glad to hear it.

Mine won't be the same, I'm not installing the heads, but I am going to clean them up a bit.  I'll let you know the results when I get done.  It's going to dyno tested before and after.

Glad to here you like the products and the performance improvements they gave you.  I tell people all the time its not rocket science just good research, listening to the right people and planning out your project.  I think we all would like to see some dyno numbers if you ever get that opportunity.
