This should help us see the potential of the new block.

He's got a bad *** set of cylinder heads to match it. The same guy that did the heads for the 372 ci motor in the dyno section did WJ's heads a few months back.

good things are coming from that lsx motor, with guys like WJ involved.. it's gonna be good. I already like the sounds of a lightened lsx block. Too bad that thign wasn't out a year earlier, I'd have built one of those for sure.

thats weird Mike since WJ has been famous for decades as being a bad *** cylinder head man.... wonder why he would have some other dude port his if he's so proficient on his own.

Warren and Kurt will STILL be the only ones running the DRCE3 block this season....and they will STILL be owned all season.

WJ is the man, I wish I knew 1/3 of what he knows. That's the beauty of pro stock to me, most of the drivers (minus Connolly/Enders and a few others) were either engine guys/crew chiefs or both and came out of the sportsman ranks.
