Re: [Amc-list] Hillborn Injection for Rambler V8 - former Turboboost.com -

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

With the introduction of the airgap, I don't see any need to use the chevy intake.
Between, Airgaps, performers and Torquers, why bother wiht the multiangle adapters?
I'm not to conerend with intakes, The Convert is a Barge! Weigth ain't going to be big issue.
I want to keep the grunt, er, torque.
I'm not doing too much to this one, just want to wake it up a bit, so it will pull a little higher up the rpm band when wanted. If I really feel a need for more power I'd probably just go with a 100HP shot of Nitrous as it wn't see much use...
