Directly towards the injector.. Brandon and Shannon over there know their nitrous... Guess that's why they have the fastest nitrous car in the world

The block has been resleeved? Looks like it.

What rods are those?

Should be a monster. Can't wait for some track results and/or dyno numbers.

It looks like you opened up the exhaust ports to the gasket or header size. Did you?

Is that the LS7 valley cover? Will it work with a FAST 90 to help with oil consumption through PCV system? Just curious.

I don't think that the FAST can be used unless you go to an LS1 or 2 head.

Yes, this is what I am speaking of...I should have made it more clear. Will the valley cover fit on a LS1/2 headed motor with a FAST intake on it...I am asking if the valley cover will help with high rpm oil consumption issues on my 6 liter block and LS1 heads. Will it clear the FAST? I know some people used the C5 Z06 valley cover and it helped to some extent. I figured the LS7 valley cover was designed by GM to goto 7000 rpms and presumably not have oil consumption issues.

probably because they are untested.....?

Some titanium rods cost $1K each. GM at one point has these listed on the GM website at something like $60-80/rod! How much titanium is in them?

I have Lunati Pro Mod Billets going in my LS7 buildup.
