does any of you have a spare swtd oem access cover you would like to part with for some $$

Made my own cover, can make them out of any thickness of aluminum you want. Also used quarter turn self ejecting fasters to hold it in place.

And what exactly is done to the 460? Without dismissing boat setup, it might be possible that you simply need more power.

Shawn needs to change his name to something that we ALL have the keys to type.

My brother took a 460 out of his hallett and lost MPH going into the SWTD and most was set up. The intake was not set right and after having the pod shortened and intake set back, this may be something to look for. What are the rear plates set at? I would recomend 2* up in the ride plate and 1* up in the tunnel/Cav pates. This would be a good starting point. Also, any info you can give on loader (blocker, Etc.) and Shoe info.
