Send it!! I have no problem trying it on for you. I did however send back a F3R that we origionally had for the car.
The ring pack is a .043 - 1/16th - 3/16th, the top ring land is .300" down. These are specially made pistons thanks to our board sponsor, Diamond Pistons!! I have a few people on the inside over there
Thanks guy's for all of the support.

Big Jay,

Stop on by the shop when you get a chance the car isn't there, but it is a short drive away.
The silver beast is SBC Powered now and up for sale. 14k for 10's on motor low 9's on the bottle.

Our goal is to have it fired up and testing within the next two weeks, our second goal is to run 7's at the Thunder Shootout in November, and after who knows.
It will be a 359ci Iron Block with our big daddy Procharger F-2 strapped to it. With any luck we should be able to make north of 1200hp at the flywheel with this set-up. Stay tuned for details.
Pics can be seen here.

I'll say it might go 8's.

I don't mean to come off as a "hater" or anything because I wish you guys the best. I just think the 7-second goal might be a little out of reach.
Good luck! I hope you prove me wrong.
Ya, let see our track record..........so far this year we've gone to 2 races and won both! Sounds pretty good to me. Thanks for the support guy's!
P.S.
Both of you guy's are local, why not stop by and check it out. It's here at the shop. I would love to meet both of you.
