Car is alive again!!
Thrashed for 4 days straight last week to get everything in and wired, and setup to race. Fired it up late Saturday night, and all I can say is WOW. The idle is crazy!! Everything checked out great after the initial start up, so on the chassis dyno it went. Tried tuning in open loop, but all we had time to do was get it idling and a little WOT tuning. Here's the setup:
409 ci
Callies crank
Lunati Pro Billet rods
Diamond custom nitrous pistons (13:1)
280/286 .720/.720 112 cam
LS2 intake
FAST 90mm TB
bunch of other stuff
Kooks 1 7/8 to 2" open headers
Took it to the track on Saturday to mess around a little. Raised the rev limiter to 8100 after the first pass, and it helped a lot. I still need to dial it in and tune it, but I'm damn happy so far. It idles right at 1500, and sounds mean as hell. More to come this week after some tuning.

Your car should run 9's on motor with the suspension dialed in I would think.

I want to build a 402-414 cid iron shortblock, solid valve train. I already have heads/all the bolt ons/intake, I'd just need the iron shortblock built, the solid valvetrain & heads machined and tuning.

Now that its running, bout time to take it apart again so you can miss another race season. You know you want a 98mm turbo sitting in front of that big ole hunk of iron now residing in your engine compartment.
Congrats though!! BTW, give me a buzz and let me know how the test and tune went at SDR.
