Just as slow as before mods..

after reading your responses, it looks like you got swept up by the shop and just went along with whatever it was their ideas were. more than likely you've got low compression and a thumpr cam and the possibility of mismatched heads/intake combo for the whole set up.

basically the: let's throw all these parts that people know the names of that we can get from the catalog and have striking eye appeal type build.

anyway, it sounds like the bones are there and i'd at least invest a afternoon of basic work to try and dial in the combo before calling it all hot garbage and kicking it to the curb.
