Wanted to say Corey @ Clayton is great to deal with.

Btw him and my good friend at Co Performance Unlimited I have some goodies on the way.

4.030 CP Pistons, 5cc dome, heavy wall wrist pin for nitrous
Compstar H-beam 6" rods with L19 bolt upgrade
Pro-gram engineering splayed 4 bolt mains.

Still gotta get the H bearings, oil pump / pan, cam, timing set, lifters, ATI damper etc

Shots gonna ******* rip

Nice! What pistons did you go with and what degree splayed caps did you get? I recommend the 10* caps so you dont hit the water jackets.

1. Know-it-all
2. *******

Two different things. He's 100% #2, but only 99% #1... and he's also 100% *******.

Haha. If you don't have haters, you're not doing it right.

I think I am going to take the leap and get an s60 narrowed 3in, sell my prostars and QTP's and throw some RT-S'/MT's on it.

Agreed. He was physically holding the set he's sending me and said they were what he uses for LT1s..

Ya he does a lot of LT1s he would def know. Corey is a great guy and I was going to use him for my 383, but decided to stick with Speedinc since they have never failed me, and I like to say my engine builder is the same as Z8s lol.

Just don't use a drag radial or you will die in a tire fire.

Corey is the kind of person I would trust inside my engine. He was telling me how sometimes its needed to mix match bearings to get things PERFECT (within 1/2 a thousandth) and some other tricks a lot of builders simply won't take the time to do.
