Exactly what I was thinking. The Ohio Boys are setting the stage for the future for all LSx racers. I'm not sure if everyone is really seeing the big picture of what is happening here. LSx's are competing in heads up racing !!! Now people are seeing that LSx's are not just one hit wonders that break all the time. Mike brown has been to every race at Milan this year and has a commanding points lead. I am not nearly as competitive in 10.5 outlaw but i have also been to every race with no failures and am now sitting in 4th place in Outlaw behind Dan Millen and a few others with a All Motor LSx and the Crowd loves to see the newer f-bodies going down the track. Next year I will have a new NA engine with 100 or so more ponies and will be allowed to run in the All Motor class and be fairly competetive. So to all those people that said you can't compete with an LSx. We are doing it.

No restrictions on turbo size. 106 or a pair of huffers is fine. Just carry the weight for twins.

Can he make the next race? It will be great to see more LS engines out!!
Mike, do you know how many passes you have on the 6 litre engine? By the way great job on the win, and crossing the scale!

So far I have found 78 time slips. I know there's more some where in the garage. You want me to pull the heads off and bring you guys the short to check out? You can PM or call me if you want.
Thanks for the scales joke. Haven't heard that one in...ohh... couple hours. Funny thing is the guy running the staging lanes heard someone say something about the scales to me. That guy asked "They make you stop and weigh that thing still?" Damn tank.

SmokinHawk, 3.50 gears.

slvrhwk, We'll be getting everything setup to go this month. We'll be leaving the TH210 in there for the Heads Up Race and NvsS at Milan the weekend before. Then swapping back to the 4L80E. In the mean time I have to get the car ready for GM High Tech to shoot it at the end of the month. Going to be busy.

If you are just going to keep it for a spare it should be fine. If you want to run it as a primary engine again we would like a look.

PS: I went over the scale last Friday when I lost, just in case....
