Yes sir, it takes little to no effort to accelerate. Passing people on the freeway is short work too! about 1/4 throttle feels like my stock 4.0l did at half... I get in it every morning and think "ok, be lite on the throttle" as its very snappy. It has lots of power right off throttle, I love the cam thats in it.

Thanks, everything start to finish (replaced every part) about $2000 including misc stuff like AEM wide-band, exh manifold, all parts (upgraded) and machining, and all new sensors ect. with out replacing the "wants" that I did you could probably get away with 1500$ and still do the performance stuff, or keep it a little more stock and be about $1100. none of those prices include labor (as that was all me) it became a one thing lead to another type of thing for me... upgraded mounts, brackets, ect ect lol did a lot more then just a stoker. made the 7120 head fit my 00 and get rid of the poor casting style ect.

I have been thinking about trying to build a JY stroker with my old block... but don't know if I care to do it.
