What kind of mods are we talking? Stockers usually see higher 15's.. lower 16's...

the 3.9's use much newer technology, so yes, they can see low 15's... there was MUCH debate as to who would win between a stock s/c 3.8 and a 3.9, as they have very similar power output, and same size...

Keep in mind, high 15's on an ss is with a tune, intake, and the standard exhaust stuff...

Rolon chain broke clean. We know at least #3 has a bent intake valve and pushrod. The chain was not rubbing on the front cover at all and we're currently pulling the engine to try and determine what happened, if it was just a fluke, and what needs to be replaced.

What or who is a Rolon Chain??

A rolon chain is the type of chain that comes with the cam timing package, but now they are changing me from a rolon to a JWIS chain
