I was under the impression that it was a SBC not a LT1. Which is it. Rick has a sick *** car. Cant wait to see what it does at Thunder.

The convertor in the car is way too loose. The cars making so much power it's going from 4k off the brake, to 6200 as soon as he launch's. Unfortunately last night I think we found out about how much abuse 1.06 compression height pistons can handle. 5.850 rods will probably be on order this week, along with a more hoss set of pistons. So the car is probably out for Thunder. We can all thank Rick's cheap a$$ for that one We told him he needed shorter rods, but he didn't want to buy them Oh well, it's all for fun. We knew we were pushing it harder than it could probably handle, and we definitely found that 91.5mm turbo's make a lot of power. So it'll be real interesting to see what she does in the very near future!

The worst part is now he needs to borrow a car to finish getting his licence!

Isn't there a time limit? 30 or 90 days?
