LOL, you're supposed to keep her locked up so she can't do things like that!

Whatever it's going to be, it'll be divided by 2 (maybe 3 if I could afford a build by W2W or SpeedInc
).

My original installer did not know what he was doing, then went out of business after I paid him money. The second, and tuner, had never tuned an LT1, but did not tell me that. Then the FPR went out, I replaced it, and found that the previuosly installed, upgraded injectors did not actually fit my LT1. Now the car runs well with new injectors, but the oil check valve is now faulty. A replacement is awaiting installation. I am hoping that 2007 is the year of the Formula. I hope.

I've never blown anything up but I did go through 3 sets of headgaskets from the head lifting.
My 6-speed always help up when I had that in there with the McLeod Twin disk
I lost a sprag in my TH400 on the street with about 660RWHP
The key is to avoid detonation at all costs. A good tune is critical with the right fuel.

got screwed by J and J speed shop when I first installed my blower, they were clueless!!! wound up with bad detonation and blown head gaskets, wasted time and money having it tuned and ruined by those ********. met some other nice people that also got screwed by them and helped fix there cars, and also met Bob from EPP who is awsome!!! so I guess some good came out of it
