Talking

I've been laying low saving money, I got a girl with a kid so they take up all my time. Cant way to start going to the track but need to make sure I got some fix-it money saved up case I blow the stock rear.




@ Blackbird-WS6 Im still running the scorpion roller rocker arms Car is tuned and running good, just needs paint and a suspension.

We just tuned the car and nothing has blown up so it was just a Phantom Knock

Didn't we change pushrods? Your PR's we're worn out and were making noise. Threw a set of 3-pc rods in there and that seemed to quiet it down.

Everything good?

Glad to hear the car is running strong OP, I just went through all 12 pages of this thread, lol. Just out of curiosity, I've been looking to get a similar setup done and it seems like these guys at Lashway really know what theyre doing. If you don't mind me asking, what did all of this wind up running you with install and all?
