Are those CNC black boxes! I thought only the space program had those!
Looks pretty sweet. You guys going to need a mechanical engineer specializing in ls1 workings in about 2 years? I'd love to come throw my hat in the ring

very, very cool 
what program do you use for the solid modeling? looked like pro/e or solidworks. 3D design is awesome. Id love to be in that mans chair doing 3d design work for performance. better than boring 2d AutoCAD.
