Whenever I need some motivation I reread this entire thread. Truly awesome.

Martin, Don't think I've forgotten about you! I know I said I'd be ordering things after I got back in the country but I ran into some money issues. I got my block completely disassembled and ready for the machine shop. Looking for ARP studs, pistons and rods now. Your cam package will be next.

Could of had a ballooning converter at one time that caused that. I run the cheap yank a long with a lot of customers with no failure or damage. Mine still looks mint after a ton of passes.

Could of been with the other converter. I think it bouncing off the limiter didn't help it out at all did that many times. But still is a very cheap thin unit compared to the other SFI plates out there.

What size pushrods did you run? I just bought a 6.0 thanks to your motivational thread! So I will be boosting that instead of my stock ls1. I'm using your car as a role model for mine lol thanks again for the awesome build!

NICE! What kind of input power do you need for that thing? I'm seriously jealous! I'm one email away from sellin my 10 year old TA 185 and buying a used syncrowave 250 or precision tig 225. Just can't afford or justify paying for a dynasty anything for what I do. Sweet machine though and I know you guys will put it to great use!

Wow! Don't try typing here on a cell phone unless you're in the mobile format lol!
