Have you got the url for Harlan Sharp. I will look him up, maybe give him a call and get back to you.

he answered my email said he'd talk to Tom's contact and see if they could sell to me directly. least this kinda shows tom is still in business regardless of his website looking from 2002.

Well, good. What slows me down is still the price. I will look into this though.

yeah its pricy but its the next thing to do in my build aside from pump+injectors. but i kinda want to port the lower intake and if im doing that i should do the rockers since you have to remove the covers anyways.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
in these applications i dont even consider traditional n/a investment of time or money with port and polish or those rockers.. upgraded valve springs for sure.

superchargers are definitely good...
but i would just lean to a turbo setup. 6-8 psi will be actual usable power. stuff is so cheap now its hard to justify any conventional n/a intensive work or opening up the engine otherwise.

there are alot of turbo 4 whizzers out there beating up n/a v8s... no reason to leave the 3.0 out of the fun.

got email back said they cant sell directly would cause too many problems, which makes sense if they have a contract. but offered to get in touch with tom and have him contact me. so hopefully that works
