I've got a drill and a good eye. The one that isn't crossed is my good eye.
Call RayMac. I would tell you Yelvi, but you prob don't have weeks to wait.
Are you getting a new nitrous kit as well?

I freshened it up(rings, bearings, gaskets) once in over 2 years of running it hard and repaired it twice, once for a blown head gasket and once for a fire spotted head but what does that have to do with how fast it goes? I can count on one hand the number of 4th gen fbodies around here that have been faster than mine and mine has been out there alot longer than most.

No it wasn't the way it was built. I started having the gasket problems after I switched from the dual staged MAF 90/90 set up to the single stage nozzle set up for TS, the distribution was terrible. Since we went with the GMPP intake and compucar plate set up we haven't had one problem with the engine.

Mike, Calvert did the initial machine work on my motor and we didn't have any problems with it. When I freshened it up I took it to Mike Smiths to check the block and do the prep work on the block and heads for the 1/2" head studs. Nothing machine work wise has ever gone wrong with my motor. I like and trust Mike Smiths, I think they do really good work at reasonable prices with good turn times.
