Redshift 567V2, just need to do the clearance work in the case and make sure of head set up and check valve to piston clearances.

the sport was a pretty hot setup from the factory and you have a tad more than it. when you build, you must have a purpose and design around it.
if you want to waken up what you have, install a johnson engineering sportgear. if you leave the final drive ratio it will pull like a banshie.

SE 536's seem to be pretty popular for a hot street build. Hammer's getting over 100hp with it in their finely tuned 1250 kit.

I went with Red Shift 630/585's for a table top torque curve in my 88ci build back a few years ago. 10:1 is MAX with the intake close on them stump pulling bumpsticks.
