it is a 97 vortec 350 with eldelbrock multiport fuel injection forged wisco piston polished rods. eldelbrock vtec aluminim heads 8.5 to 1 compression 91 octane gas twin to4b garret turbos. dual 3 inch exhaust vortec fmu. i think that is about it.

rebuilds suck i had to rebuild it three times this year the first time turbos spiked at 30psi and filled the cylander with water. the next time i was still running kieth black pistons and they dont like boost. then this last time but i have all winter i read that it should be about 14 but that just seemed a little low.

start at 14 and work your way up is a good way.


and as always...after the rebuild..pour in a whole tank of RACE GAS..just in case of boost spikes...etc
