Way to nice to be put into a engine, but maybe better suited in a glass case with all of your wallys. Anyways, is this going into a N/A or FI motor and what kind of chassis will it be layed into?

I really wanted to work with GM on this project but we just couldn't make things come together.

As for the money part, it is a issue I just chose to take my time and do it right. Also if it wasn't for all the great people helping me and standing behind this project I would not be able to do it. I have a ton of great media support and once I have all the parts I will start to get everything out their.

I wanted to try to build something that no one has ever done and see if it paid off. I do think if it all works the car should run well. I feel my single 106mm Turbo Small Block should be able to run with some the Big Block Twin cars if we get it right. But I will just have to wait and see.

The motor will have a single 106mm Turbo and will be going into a Radial Tire 2000 Camaro.

I really wanted to build a 2010 Camaro but just couldn't get it to happen. They were to tough to get when I started this deal 8 months ago. I still would love to use one but now I have a complete chassis done. Maybe in the future.

Eddie. Next time, contact us directly for anything GM you need. I am sure we can get something done. BTW we still have 3 2010 Camaro Bodies in White in our bullpen just waiting for a good home.

Good luck. Im guessing you have a gorilla piston in there as well. Nice. I DO love the tall decks.

A Billet Crank starts out as 1 large block of metal and a cast starts life as melted metal poured into a forum of the rough shape the crank will be. The billet is a much better quality starting out and pure metal vs cast that is never as dense an pure that could have air bubbles etc in it. The end result is a much stronger part. In a high HP motor a billet will handle it an a cast in most cases will break.

As for a micro polish. It helps shed oil since it smooths out the finish not allowing oil to stay in little holes. That allows it to free up HP.

Since you polished the crank, you going to do a deep pan and an external oil pump?

The motor is getting a 7 stage dailey engineering dry sump. It is a new system Bill Dailey built that uses a billet low profile pan with his new mini pump that bolts stright to the pan. I will have 5 stages for the motor 1 for turbo scavenge pump and I will also have 1 as a vacuum pump for the top end of the motor. The stuff is really nice. Bill makes the best stuff and is great to work with. The guy can and will build anything for your needs.

Here are 2 pictures of them just with different pump set-ups.
