    When you buzz a 3.0 or 3.2 up to 9200 RPM ... do me a quid-pro-quo and shoot a video of it ...

    There's no dot in the middle of youtube ( youtu.be )

    When removed .. this is what Google / Youtube put at the top of the list for the addy you gave ..

    So which one of you is Eddie , and which is Mr. Robinson ..

    In all seriousness, putting a downdraft / external injector deal on an early or late model block is a fairly inexpensive way to open the door to power and reliability. Which is what 99% of people are looking for. Most are not looking to run the last couple hundred feet after the split, 2200 RPM past the point of peak power. Just as your not lookin to put in at Palm Beach and check-in at the Bahamian customs building on west end ..

    Chaz = thinkin, lots of downdrafts made that little jaunt .. slides, not so much ..

    i've got an early(1999) promax i'm going to be rebuilding soon. I've been intrigued with this downdraft setup ever since i got the 3.0. It has a slide front, Brucato intake, lighted flywheel and flashed Ecm(s) on it now. I ran it on my Gambler bass boat last year, but it's tired and needs tightening up. I would like to know more about what it will take to get in on changing over to this set up in the near future.

    Power performance engineering makes one for the older 3 liters. Very similar to the Brucato. I recently bought two of them. Very nice piece.
