Default Behold, The Return of the King

This one's for you Neil! Feast your eyes on the new powerplant for Big Ricks car. Look for it in Atlanta at the Year One event in a few weeks. It'll be the LT1 kickin all the LS1's ***'s! At least we hope, right??? 7's or bust!!!!!

It doesn't require much. That's Rick's old GHETTO setup from back when he ran nitrous. I did a Jesel on mine all welded and machined, looks much nicer. But the only difference is right there at the top. just gotta make sure you get the belt drive made for the late model roller blocks...

Bad *** Chuck, That lil Formula is going to roll hard as hell, should look awesome with the new front clip on it too. I dont think 7s will be a problem at all. AAron, its going to be fuel injected other wise it wouldnt be able to run in the ls1tech series.

Rick, say "Thank You Chuck!" Should be interesting to see how they do compared to the 220's on the last setup.
