We choose parts based on if they will provide reliable results for our goals.

If we do not need to spend extra money we don't do it.

I would invite you to spend a couple thousand dollars on product engineering regulators, only to solve the burned pistons and used up parts with an off-the-shelf holley regulator available anywhere for like $25.

Sometimes there's a big difference between "something that should work well" and "something that Does work... Everytime!"

Your car is going to be a stout piece when you get it done.

It will be another bad *** 4th gen in Ohio.


Tranny is a Rossler 210.

That rossler th210 is one bad mother af a tranny, been running one for 1 1/2 years without one problem. Our is equipped with easy stage which makes staging a turbo car a breeze.. I'm sure his glides are good as well but we have no experience with one, Mike Browns 4l80e is holding up fine to over 1100 crank hp in an 3750lb. car Rossler is the man!!

[Dr.Evyl voice] One hundred million dollars.[/Dr.Evyl Voice]

Absolutely frikkin amazing. One of the best builds (and well documented !) I've ever seen.

Here are some reviews I will expect to see coming in published literature :

"Best FBod evar..." - Jealous FBod Enthusiasts Magazine

"Most-new-parts-in-one-build award winner" - Bean Counter Magazine

"Attention to build detail is borderlining on mental illness, send in the guys with the white jackets !" - Psychiatrist Weekly


Keep up the amazing work guys, you're setting the benchmark.

It was around $5500.

I sold my old 9" to Big Mike last week to help pay for this one.
