They sure can... Thats why we are the exclusive dealer for LSX shortblocks from ProLine... Together we produce some incredible combos!!!
Thanx guys!!! Keith is happy and thats all that matters.
JMill, ProLine was supposed to bring a decal with them to the track today. Im sure its been marked already. This car was built by VENGEANCE and the engine was a joint effort between both shops with Proline assembling it. Couldnt have made it happen without them!!!!
Mike is right... Hats off to Buddy... He makes the impossible... well possible!!!!!!!
Hunter, no offense taken on the hood..We had a nice 4" cowl, but it wouldnt clear the intake/TB combo so it had to be modified
... We all have opinions... Speaking of that I think your white TA looks like **** compared to your white SS
Keith is at the track about to make his first NA pass... Not expecting much on motor as the converter is only stalling to 3600 and power comes on HARD from 5000 to 8800.. She will shine on the jug

Thanks Man!!
William Danial aka Buddy my Lead Tech is the man behind the scene here who actually assmebled the car and wired it. He does not get the credit he should get on these big builds. He is the one who has been working on the car everyday all Day for 3 weeks now. I would love to have this build under my belt but he is the one who made this happen.
I am glad for Keith it has been a long road but a fast one for a build like this.

Nice stab though

Nice edit Ron. Maybe you should count to 10 before you hit the submit reply button next time.
I was simply stating the obvious, so there is no reason you should take offense to it...
You guys did a great job bolting on parts.
But I can pick up the phone and buy directly from Proline. So you may want to redefine your marketing slogan "exclusive."
I'm anxious to see track times to see how well you guys can build a track car in lieu of a dyno queen or roll racer...

I thought this may have been the same car that was drug down the track by Texas Speed's heads/cam Camaro....
I guess if I had that much money in a 6 speed car and couldn't drive it, I'd put an auto in it too... but I think the Proline motor was a little premature... maybe just swap trannies and have fun with that for a while??
But, there is the old adage of more money than sense.... I guess he doesn't have to worry about little heads/cam cars anymore at least...

Keith is racing Hot Street this weekend more for just seat time.. He has every intention of competing in EZ Street once he gets afew passes under his belt. The car definately got way out of hand and Im not going to ruin this class for one car... Rest assured we all agree with you on that one

LMAO!! Jason. This is how they do it to a "T". Proline built the motor, Steve Petty tuned the motor, RPM Tranny Bell Chasis Roll Cage, ETC, ETC. I guess since you can pick up the phone, order parts and read directions on how to bolt together something, makes you R&D Performance shop??LMAO!! BTW,
Good luck Keith, I do love your car, and the setup.Like I said, the hood is not of MY choice! Have fun and be safe.

Well, I see at least 3 of your own rules the car violates. It will be interesting to see if it gets protested the first time out, and what you do to satisfy that protest.
