I'll guess 4.100 big bore with stock crank and rods, and big cam like a 235/235//112.

Since you're were/are trying to sell the LS6 heads perhaps you now have C5R heads?

I'm gonna say a 388-39X stroker with a badass set of 5.3L heads, 12-13:1 cr, cam about like PSJ said(maybe just a bit bigger on a tighter LSA).

So what is it? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I don't think I am the only one here that sees the irony of the situation? LOL

I am just glad that TTR will be back racing again, truly a gentlemen on this board.

I can't make a comment without someone bringing my cars in to it, so why not bring yours up? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

No Terry,I didnt say anything about your car,it was about you in general.I still stand strong in believing u wouldnt tell anyone and thats my perogative.

U on the otherhand knocked my car/setup for the 100th time because I had an opinon of your persona.I never said your car wasnt impressive,I said I felt like u dont always tell the whole truth.....

There was no reason to knock my car.
U wanna say I'm fat or a not as smart at u thats one thing,but leave the BS out of the posts...

On the other hand guys, I appriciate your kind comments but what happened between that shop in california and myself is my business and the business of that shop in california and that is how I would like to keep it. We agreed upon a settlement and a deal is a deal. As far as I'm concerned it's over. Anymore speculation on what will or will not happen to the 396 motor is just that, "Speculation" and only makes for some good press. Let's not kick a dead dog in the kazunya <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Good luck <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I agree Tom....
FWIW,My comment wasnt directed at u Tom or MMS.
It was directed at Terry.I think I'm entitled to have an opinion of someone's persona?

I wish U and Terry the best w/your new setups.
I'm sure both of u will be flying to new bests real soon...

Terry,

Congrats on the great #'s. I love the sound of 396 CI. I'd have an SS396. Got a nice ring to it.

Mr Roofer,

Are we going to see you at Cecil this fall? I know you want to line up against the quickest bolt on, hard top, cloth interiored, roll up windowed 3.42 geared 99 SS(am I missing anything? Oh yeah, black!) in the country!

I guess you assume we're all like that. Can you name one time I've been misleading or tried to lie about anything about my cars?
