I don't think anyone doesn't have 1-2 secrets they don't plan on letting out of the bag. LOL

I have been told I can be pretty convincing!

You are definitely persistent, I'll give you that lol


Caleb, you got plans for heads and intake down the road???

No, I am going to stay cam only for the foreseeable future. Ill need to get a built rotating assembly before I can throw more power at it. Possibly a 441 down the road. What do you have in mind for yours?

Im working through a couple 427 options in my head right now. The cheaper/quicker one being a forged iron block stroker from AES with Tony Mamo working over my heads and a 102/102, which should be good for over 500 rwhp/tq. And with that option that would leave me room to safely spray a 100-150 shot. Or going ahead and shooting for the eventual goal of having ERL resleeve my block, and have a more size appropriate topend, which would leave me PLENTY of room for improvement. It just depends on how soon I want to get this finished, which I am sure once I get going will be like yesterday lol

Either way my goal for the T/A is a pissed off NA build. I have some other ideas in mind down the road for some FI builds

I had someone call me an idiot basically last night because I said when mine was done i would still drive it to and from the track... I was confused and explained it was 100% still a street car (full weight/full leather interior/AC/heat/etc etc)... Basically was saying because it was going to be fast/etc it wasn't a street car.
You drive street cars comfortably on the street.

I drove my TA from Florida to NC in 2011. Ran several times at the strip 10.2-10.3's and drove it back when I was finished. Street manners are awesome!
