all the performance suggested to stay away from true duals with the v10
I figured the 4" catback would suffice. I was also considering shorty headers since one stud is broken

Charlie, do you want the radiator hose support on your bracket? I would like to give kudos to charlie for really helping me out with this build. I wouldn't have been able to start it up or build 1/2 the parts I have so far without his help. I am ready to meet you guys, would be nice to find a track close by to try them out. I wanna see how myFx4's 4V does.

Bristol wouldn't be terribly far from either of us?

About 60 miles from me. Track isn't the best and its uphill, but would be fun.

Yes. I would like that. Keep the fan from contacting the hose. Not probable, but with my luck...

As far as a track, there's a NHRA sanctioned track about 1.45 hours from me. I'll check to see if they're running the weekend of the meet. Pinks has been there a few times and it's right down the road from my builder's shop.
