I sold the heads off of it so I figured why not up the compression to where it should be for N/A and some spray.

I built it two years ago and it had about 15k miles on it. It was running perfectly when I took it apart.

I hated putting my oil pan back onto my motor. Looking all grimy. Wish I took it to get cleaned up all nice. But, I did the best I could, looks ok. Just not like the rest of the motor ya know!?

No turbos at this time. I don't want to put them where the fuel tank is and have to put fuel cell in the trunk, can't fit big enough ones anywhere else and I drive it so much that I don't want to lose A/C. I may look into fitting a centrifugal in a couple years.

For now, I'll make due with this.

I have some aluminum brightener from Napa. I may try it while it's still on the stand.

Damn, that has the potential for a LOT of spray. Regardless of the performance it is a beautiful intake and rails.

I keep wanting to look at putting them in front of the front fenders (ala C6 vette) but just can't see a way to make the piping work without losing the front bumper and doing some major rework to the radiator, condenser, and IC/HE (I would likely run one). While I don't expect to wreck the thing I still want to keep the bumper structure. I guess I will stick with the blower and hold off on the turbos until I pick up a vette.

Barney would be proud.


Kudos for going the extra step and coloring the valley cover.

I knew there was a reason you had the crank snout keyed.

The Dragonslayer crank comes keyed from Callies.
