have the short block being built too. going splayed mains, eagle forged crank, 6" eagle h-beams w/arp2000 cap screws, je pistons w,tool steel pins. so i should be able to turn this thing to 6600 rpm's and spray a decent amount of nitrous to her too, and have it stay together!
we are gonna end up with plenty of compression and this thing should really fly once it is all back together. I think Justin price 9Skinnies) and Clint 9T/A LT1) have the quickets LE1 heads/cam set ups with 11.6/11.7 ET's.
This should have them covered by a good bit though since the others were using 222 and 226 duration cams.

thanks man! LE1 i guess? since my heads are LE1. haven't had the water pump on the car yet. just doing it to get ride of the pump shaft through the cover ( seems to always leak oil ) and the extra load off the cam. have read some post about 8-10 hp gain? but thats not the reason i'm doing it.
black is such a nice color for the water pump and intake. looks Real sharp. cant wait to see everything finished.
thats why i wanna do it too. less stress on the valvetrain and afew extra ponies never hurt anyone

That looks really good painted like that. I think I'm going to paint my stuff like that soon along with polishing the fins, throttle body, and fuel rails.
EDIT: Did you use a gun or is that all spray canned?
