Congrats Rob. Can't wait to see what Rob does with your hawk. Should be a blast to get you and Dave together. You guys give me about a 4 car head start and it's on! No but seriously, I know what you've been through with that car so I'm really glad you're starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Mike

Thanks Mike. I'm confident Rob & QMP will take care of her and make her a real beastie. I'll have it out for show 'n tell this car cruise, and will finally get to take it to it's first fast iron meet. :p

L8r,
Rob

Speaking of which, I still have to nail down which park we are headed to. It's tough to find a park around there that's cool with drinking. Anywho, when is she due back?

I wish we had shops in MD that included lapdances and cooter being rub in your face in the install price

Seriously, I agree. Maybe we should just do a restaurant again?

Oh yeah, I think that Rob should include that in his advertising. Buy a bottom end, and visit the shop, get boobies rubbed in your face. lol. They'd be lining up for miles.

ttt, looks like I'll be sticking with the 5.7 after all. I'm actually happy because I want to get as close to rob's setup (sans the M6) as possible to see how it goes.

I think staying with the aluminum block will save weight.

What compression will you be?

It should be around 9.5:1. Going to run 12psi low and 15psi high. Guestimates are 600 low, 650 hi at the wheels (if the rear and tranny stay together) with gobs of torque.
