Man, can you believe that tirade he was on over there on FCO?

Both Doc and Terry (mostly) just ripping on the svt 3L hybrids! About how the 2.5 SVT parts don't work on a 3L block, etc....
And if they don't work then how come hybrids with SVT cams are the best setups so far?

How about your radiator, are convinced now that we were right about the SVT radiator being bigger? It seems to have cooled off your operating temps alot too.


I just don't know. By the way, that stuff about 24# injectors being required and all that other stuff is just not correct. You are on the right track for now, use stock parts and tune it in with some sort of A/F device. Then work on the normal mods like air intake filter/piping and exhaust piping with headers.
