congrats on the #'s

I do agree if keeping it NA with a 27" tire go 4.30. This should really wake the car up on both ends if you can hook it.

looking at the weight (around 3600-3700 with me in it) and my time/ET i should be making around 410-420 at the wheels, i dont think the crank can handle the 150 shot i was planning on throwing at it until the build. once the bottom end is built ill spin it to 7k and be able to trap 136 on a 28" tall tire with the 4.30s which should leave me plenty of room to breath

Looks like the car is running well and will soon be even quicker. Hopefully in a few weeks when the air is better I will lower my NA times a little. Ion will be putting my shift points back where they were and I have taken a little weight out of it.
You could probably throw a small shot of spray at it, but I don't know if you'll have enough rpms left to try that with the 4.30 gears.
