My replacement for a Vic Jr and an Elbow...

I think this should do just fine...

Winter upgrades for my backyard setup:

PT3000
New Turbo
TCI Glide
Holley Hi-ram
New Wheels w/ double beadlocks

Should be a fun year next year...

A good tuner!

Lol, no i'm sure it's only a matter of time before it lifts the heads.

We really haven't been laying the coals to this motor at all(other than me not shifting on time). It's only seen 20psi on a spring so far in a full pass. Timing and fuel have been conservative for what it is. It's been an effecient little bastard for how "nothing" it really is.

Put me in an ERL or VAspeed motor and I bet we could have some real fun, haha.

I used my $$$ from winning the 8.5 race at the ls fest to get the intake.

My tuner offered me to borrow his tci pro glide. I'm still having Greg re-work my converter for the glide. I'm addicted to his converters haha.
