Wow you had that thing hooking hard, probably not much wheel spin? Kind of why I want to stay with 26" slicks and not run 28"s. Keep my **** from breaking by allowing the tires to spin. What suspension mods do you have?

I aint scurred, I've actually hit 16lbs more than one time on accident. Shifted my car around 6800-7000 rpm n/a all last year as it really held good up high. I think the weak rod bolt theory is quite over used, how many people do you know who has broke a stock rod bolt?

LOL!

Nah I was just messin with ya we know it'll drive over the crank before anything else happens

I had two guys muggin the **** out of me today leaving the gas station and when I pulled out I left it in 1st and crept up to 3500 and layed into it and immediately hit rev limiter and let off and shifted to 2nd and did the same thing.

I immediately said, "sorry baby, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it"

I'm just ready to put some real boost to this car's ***. I'll need the rings re-gapped at the least, and preferably a forged shortblock, but I hope to make it happen for next season.

What are your plans for the factory shortblock when it goes?

I will probably throw a stock 5.3 in it with my 243s, a turbo cam, arp head studs, ls9 head gaskets etcs. I will probably swap to e85 with a dual deatchwerks pumps and max out the turbo I really don't want to go too much faster with my car as it's main purpose is street use and I'm not even 100% sure on putting an iron block in it. I don't plan on ever putting a cage in it, believe it or not I sometimes have 2-3 other people in my car lol.
