Default Newbie from TN

Just wanting to say hi. Looking forward to many years of fun and excitement here. Not much else to say. If you're over at Corvette Forum, you probably have seen me around.

Motor/rear end is running KIlLLER. It's outperforming all my expectations. The damn drivetrain can't handle the abuse though. I broke the torque arm and driveshaft last weekend trying to launch it at BG. I WISH i had the money to take that 408 off your hands! It's my dream motor(solid roller and all), but unless we did a straight trade, i don't see it happening... anyways, yea, the car is hanging in there, just gotta get a stronger TA for it, and another DS made.

Yeah, I'll probably continue on as planned and put the motor in over the winter. I found out that the Comp lifters that are in it have to come out. They have a problem from the factory, so I think I am gonna get a set of Crowers. While I got the heads off, I am am gonna clean the CNC lines up that are still there. I think that is where my flow numbers are being held up. Don't worry, once I get it in and tuned, we are coming that direction and I'll take you for a ride in it.
