Well, the 9" is all fabbed in and looks like it fits... as if there was ever any doubt. The guys at RPM Transmissions come through once again and put together a great new setup! Tom and I left the shop at about 9:45 tonight and everything was pretty much mocked up. Now we just have to ship everything back to RPM and let them put all the goodies on the inside so we can put the setup in for good!
Thanks RPM Transmissions for all the great products and I can't wait to put them to the test.
More pics comming soon as we ad in the new Drive Shaft Shop axles and drive shaft.

Aluminum rods are the only way to go for those power levels. You will be extremely impressed when you tear it down and inspect the rod bearings. Are you using L19 rod bolts or stronger?

Run a engine with steel rods at that power level down the track 10 times pull it apart and look at the rod bearings. Do the same to the same engine with aluminum rods and look at the bearing. The difference will be night and day. trust me I have saw it over and over again. At those power levels I don't care what people say. You will see detonation. Will it waste them instantly? No. So I guess you are right. I just like making more than a dozen passes before I'm forced to rebuild.

Just ordered my Aluminum Bolt Together converter from Neil Chance converters... should be here next week!
We have the turbos mounted in the car and are building tubing now.
The Dry sump tank came in from Peterson today... that is ready to be mounted now as well.
Looking good, still a lot of work to do, but we are going to try like hell to make it to Bradenton in March.

I had ETP heads before the AllPro Heads. I can tell you that getting my AllPro Heads was a WAY better process than when I ordered the ETP heads in the past.
Also the AllPro heads keep me qualified for all the race series that I run.
All in all they were the best choice for what I was doing.
