More pics of the build, before the carnage!

Fast Fuel rails, Aeromotive fuel filter, -10AN to Y and -8AN to rails. I'm using the stock feed for the return line.

Best 1/8 mile timeslip, before major weight reduction (MWC front suspension, Aerospace brakes, A/C & P/S delete and cage install)
Easily lost 100+ pounds after all that.

...and that gets me to Dec. 2015, LS1 carnage!

The car sat in my inclined driveway for about 3 weeks straight after my night at the track. Everything was running great when I parked it. My guess is all the oil drained to the back of the pan. The damage has yet to be determined, but I'm already looking into a shortblock!

Narrowed down my short block choices during the last couple days. I can't justify spending 6-8k on the setup that I want. I'll be reusing my AFR 225s, Brute Speed cam and LS6 intake/TB.

My motor is getting finished up in the next few days or so. Decided to go with the LS9 head gaskets. Also got the bottom end gasket kit, header gaskets, valley cover gasket and new lifter trays being tossed in the shipping crate.

Still need to decide on the new oil pan. Looking for something with more ground clearance than stock.

I just ordered my CBR Performance 8.65 inch crank pulley & 4.38 Procharger pulley. It should max out the F1A at 7k rpm. Now time for injectors!
Edit for pic...

Got the new oil pan, trunnion upgrade kit and the pieces for Alky Control dual nozzle upgrade.
I ordered the ID1000 injectors and PnP adapters. These should be here on Friday.
