Rumor has it there is a pretty badass LT1 in the works in this area. Something about twin t70's and some one-of-a-kind heads??? Anyone hear anything about this? I haven't had any luck.

The girdle steve has doesn't tie the caps into the block, which is what I'm after. Look at the GN girdles and you will see what I'm talking about. If designed that way it would help tremendously.

I am glad HPE is building my motor and using similar pistons that were used in big ricks motor. Erik knows his stuff i recommend anyone that is serious about power using HPE they definitely know their stuff.

"Inhales small dogs and children, and anything else that isn't strapped down." Pretty car and I love the "turbo cover" on that thing. 25.5 speced cage, but is the car "halved" or is this all on stock style suspension. What class is he running in, noticed the PM on the window, Pro Mod?

He runs ls1tech series 'pro-mod' which isn't anything like the IHRA pro-mod or similar classes. It's the fastest class for the ls1tech stuff. Pretty awesome cars in there including Harlan, Duke, Ohio boys, etc. Or maybe I'm mistaken.
