Decided to stay with the same trubos, between the cost of the new ones and I don't think we 100% maximized the potential of these . Also with our combo (t4 76's) we get a little weight break trying to race against promod 88"s. lol. This year we will push them as far as they will go. If we need to change the program at that point?????

11 Days left!! 
Good news is that I have the motor back! I need to get it in the car,lol. The car needs to go to Speed Inc to have my down pipes and charge pipes tweaked. We repositioned the motor and trans. We took some of the pitch out of the motor. it was over 4 degrees , we brought it down to 1.5 . I've been beating up the bearings in the tail shaft of the trans. This should help.
We put some compression in the motor to see how it does. No cam changes, put all new bearings in, rings and decked the block and heads. New valve springs, they were three yrs old.
I'll get some pictures posted up with progress . I'm sure John will start a thread when we leave for the race. He's great about keeping everyone posted and pics!!
