[V8] Black interiors?

[Ron Wainwright]

Absolutley. I have so much power in my 4.2 that it spit out my front d-side LM & shot it 300'ish yards down the street :-(

 But W/O TT'ing these motors I'm not sure how much more can be had out of them. Marc Swanson is getting over 400 to the WHEEL hp & gobbbbbbbbbz of Torque with his TT'd 3.6 motor. He's putting a ABH 4.2 TT in his CQ soon. Be interesting to see what he gets with that. But remember he's running 034EFI & can tune & tweek as he sees fit. & thats with STOCK internals!!!!!!

 Marky Mark was in the process of doing a VEMS in his monster camed 4.2 5sp...... maybe he can chime in.......

 This upcomming Spring/Summer when my 5sp is all done & road ready I'll be dynoing my setup.

 But since most V8 listers are content to leave there V8's stock'ish HP wise there are not alot to compair to... unless one looks on all those crazy Euro web sites & see those guys working wonders with these motors!

 Ron Mit a little SHHHH weed in me
