Default Back to Florida!

Hey all. I'll be heading back to Florida soon and be back in St. Augustine the beginning of November. Hope to be able to meet up with some of you and check out your rides. My car is in the middle of a full build at the moment and probably will take a while to get back on the street.

Unfortunately had a few problems with not having all of my tools or any space available, so I've just been collecting all the parts and waiting for the engine to get built and me get back to my house. Unfortunately the engine has been held up by the crane shaft mount polymatrix rocker arms not fitting how they're supposed to, even with machining the heads how they're supposed to be.

Some of you might actually be following the build, it's the 408 that Leo at Weber Racing has been posting. https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsor-vehicle-projects-shop-tours/882165-follow-along-engine-build-weber-racing-engines.html It's also in the GEN III and GEN IV Internal Engine sections and the Nitrous Oxide section.

Dave at Nitrous Outlet plumbed up a nice direct port system on an Edelbrock Vic. Jr. for me that'll sit on top of the engine. http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/installs/install.asp?id=77

Along with all that is a full suspension and 4.11 full spool 9 inch. Hopefully I'll be able to get things together and on the road in not too long once I get back to FL.

Hope to meet up with some of you soon.

Yep. You left a card on my windshield about a year ago outside the petsmart. It's going to be a little bit of a different setup than it was then. I use HP Tuners, but it'll be coming to you once it's done for a little dyno time to see how much it's putting to the wheels.
