Amp ftmfw!!

 

Quick question Monty--you leave the stock Eagle springs on there or swap? I know they are untouched otherwise. I am contemplating this for my next project.

 

Looking good Mike....that Mo-Fo will be breathing much better! Mine will soon be under the knife as well.

 

And it only took how long?????? anic:

Gonna be a real beast when its done!

 

Ok so car is done only we decided to go with a 6. 1 manifold instead of using spacers on the eagle one. Also this vehicle was an 05 so it had the old style coil packs we also upgraded them so here's some pics of the process.

And here's the finished pics

Glad you liked it Mike.. Get that thing on a dyno or better yet to the track..


Special thanks to Hemi 31 for advice. And Stu @ interia for the push rods And Dave webber From Modern muscle Group for the manifold and coming through on the custom comtetic gaskets..

 

VROOOOOOOOOOOooooooOooooooOoooOommmm!!!

 

I love how scott and jon are growing by the day Great job guys i will be there soon again

 

Congrats! Get a good tune in her, your CR is probably up.

 

If I may ask, does anyone know the final scoop on the eagle heads? Are the ports the exact same as 6.1 heads? Also, wasn't clear on why you went with the 6.1 manifold over the eagle manifold (other than the 6.1 looks absolutely awesome).

Also, do the early 5.7s use the thick foam rubber pad under the intake like used on the eagle 5.7?

Really curious to hear how much the eagle heads wake up the earlier 5.7 ...

 

What pushrods did you use?

 

Waiting to see what improvements were made when it comes to the dyno.

 

Congrats Mike on the new found power. Now get to the track this Sunday to get some new times on it.

 

im glad to see you got smart and went with the 6.1 intake!
i had regrets with the eagle mani.

so hows it feel monty?

and this

Congrats Mike on the new found power. Now get to the track this Sunday to get some new times on it.

 

Very nice Mike, cant wait to see what it does at the track
