Cause I really like the Edelbrock SC? I'm also a car guy, so a modified car with better performance is always going to be attractive, even if its possibly not the best choice (does that make sense?)..

And with the Edelbrock's CARB exemption may be easier to work with the emissions regs than a header, oddly enough..

And yeah, it seems like it takes FI to make a Gen1 hang with a Gen 2 acceleration wise..
