I was going to do step up to the ls1. But ended up getting a killer deal on some srp pistons and manley H beams. So instead im building another 355 to love nitrous. I send off my heads for porting the other day. Shooting for 6's...

On the car side of things, i ordered my TEA 5.3 heads, S16 cam and a bunch of other goodies from Speed inc and will soon be picking up the rest from Mike @ WS6store very soon - getting excited!!
Good to hear you got the bike back together

When are you doing the head and cam install on the vette?

i'm planning on waiting until this 09 winter since i'm going to do everything all at once, clutch, rear-end/trans girdle brace, and engine work. Only reason is cuz you have to take the front steering rack out to do the engine work and drop the entire rear end and suspension to do the clutch and stuff so that will suck and take time etc.
But i want it done yesterday lol

Did i hear that your ride is back for sale again? I guess my wife was talking to your mom out at Oskaloosa Care center last week or something

it's always for sale if someone has $$$...lol...I don't expect it to sell I haven't even had anyone interested at all. I really don't want to sell the car, but I'd like to spend the money on my house. Doing one little project at a time is going to take me 3 years to get the house done and I don't have the patience for that. If I could sell the car I could get the house done in one year.

I might have to come watch you make some passes at Eddyville sometime. Shoot me a pm when you are heading to the track.

Probably something from Karl Chevrolet, cause R and B auto sales is Karls son's dealership. He gets alot of the trade ins that don't make it onto the Karl pre-owned lot.
