Shawn is just phucking with me, the block he is talking about is his new hybrid 6 bolt factory/billet block. I'm 99% sure we're using the LSx block this year but than again shawn does fall under the "slick tire phucker" catagory and you know how slick those guys can be. It wouldn't surprise me to see a virginia speed tall or short deck factory/billet block when I pick it up. Shawn is just like that. It would certainly go with what I'm trying this year, 90# off the nose would definitely make my life easier with the weight bars.

The last I saw Brady was going with Twin F2s, but I guess not. That new setup is absolutely insane. I was wondering how long until we starting seeing pro mod type setups in radial cars. Wait no longer.

I am looking forward to seeing what your car will do running on 8 cylinders and a few hundred pounds lighter. Good luck.

Shawn and I have talked about the Pro-mod radial cars, we're not worried one bit. Wolfe proved you dont need a pro-mod to go fast on radials, to be quite honest I think alot of these guys are just wasting money. Outlaw Radial is all about making big power, power management and we'll say chassis tuning. Thats why we went soo fast so quick, Shawn built a strong hammer, I have the power management down to the tenths and Madman has my suspension working. It doesnt matter what chassis you have but what you do with it.

We could have gone bottom 60s high 50s last year with just a few more hits, this year we're looking for 40s @ 175.

^ They'll definetly have the power aspect of the ratio down. Madman should be able to figure out the chassis. If they can get the car to 60 and 330 the rest should be game over. I guess we'll just wait and see what they can do with it.

Turbo is centered and radiator is in location, just enough room.


I made a template for the front bar, I've got a local guy going to bend up a 1 1/2" .058" piece of CM tomorrow.


I'm using dual 4" downpipes this time instead of the 5", still using the twin 44mm wastegates just a more optimal configuration from what we learned last year in testing.

Running 40's will be an awesome feat! A LSX running in the front of the pack on radials will be awesome! Good luck!

We're going to have it setup both ways, v-bands on the ends, they will be flush. I want to run it withou the horns but we'll see. I think they will be beneficial but not so much as controlling power wheelies.

I didn't know if it had anything to do with backpressure or downforce (like Wolfe) etc.
