Sorry. I thought you were someone else lol.

Nice work on the car. I look forward to seeing it develop this year. I personally think you should be able to hit 9.60's with a 200 shot.

Lol No prob. Thanks and I think so too.
Just got off the phone with my builder, should only be a few more weeks till I get the short block back. Said he wants to start with a fresh block so hes going to just hook me up with an exchange for mine N/C. Says the shop that did the orig 383 cut some corners and and is fine for a mild build but he wants mine perfect. Other than that everything looks great.

Im more than likely going with the 860 elbow and sell the plate and elbow that comes with the intake. Then send it down to Nitrous Outlet for some custom spray bars.

I want the car to look stock besides the tires from the outside. WS6 hood is stayin for sure.
I might do a 90mm TB still thinking about that one. The TB in the pic doesnt come with the intake but I already have a 58mm TB was actually thinking about a monoblade
