Ooohhh so mysterious. I'm intrigued like a school girl on a sleep over.

Marshmallows anyone?

I should wind up right around 12:1 compression with my pistons and head gaskets. I also picked up a T56 and a McCloud street twin a while back. I have enough fuel system and all the other little BS stuff to handle whatever it makes and I will be burning my own proms for the stock '93 computer.

So, I figured once the new engine and trans are in I'd do a little dyno queening with the 10 bolt while I tune the new engine, before I swap in a 9 inch. Who thinks I can put down 500+ rwhp on a dynojet?
Should run good.

You know that you really do need to show up this year. Race POPO. He is actually a pretty cool dude. He would probably race you for a few beers!

I'm definitely coming. I have the time off from work (no, not at a GM dealer) all scheduled in and all.

I see you have your own motor vs. power adder run scheduled, should be fun to watch.

I'd do a callout against GIZMO but chances are we will be lined up anyways, lol. I'm hoping to qualify ahead of him this year though.
