Used a lot of similar stuff at my old job at a race shop.. used steam- rated pipe though, don't know if it's the same stuff.. it all got tig welded together by a guy who was a real expert at it.. made *beautiful* welds

If i would have googled it when you mentioned steam rated pipe before. would have had parts on hand

I'm running around 1400 to 1500 egt pulling pulling hills in boost from 7 to 14 psi

I was right around those EGT's but at about 45 PSI pulling a 6 ton trailer up a hill... Wasn't bad, from a sharp switchback and a 10% grade, and I got up to about 45mph up it.. it pulls pretty hard.

I need to line up against a mustang :(

just a little 2.3 Lima with silly spark-plugs

I know stock there close. But 30 psi boost and head work does wonders.
just enough to piss off a hellcat owner. above 50 mph stupid tire spin  ::)

real close to my build log manifold turbo, cam and propane is the only real difference
I figure right around 500 hp from fuel flow.
