Ok never mind I just did the math on what it would cost in diesel to drive there and back towing the mustang.... Looks like i'll be flying out to watch this time around. $2200.00 not counting tech card and race fuel. I sure do wish I could though.

Sheesh--
I'm working with a roller right now
Just need to install the fuel system, wiring, tranmisson, radiator, engine, and build a turbo kit.
I'm gonna end up around 3300lbs with me in it.

This is a joke. Apparently people dont know what "stock" shortblock means.
So if there is "much aceptance" will forged rods and pistons be stock shortblocks too?
Rod bolts are part of the rotating assembly, rotating assembly is part of the shortblock. If you use aftermarket rod bolts you alter the shortblock from the stock state.... dont need to be a genius to figure that out.

I don't want to change out my rear gear so probably won't do well in the 1/4. But we get in the low 10s I will be happy.

Better figure out what you are doing wrong if that is the case.
