Just working on the new V6. May even be as peppy as the last V6 was.
Taking care of a few last minute issues that always crop up. Should be ready to start the install this weekend, weather permitting.

Awesome man, Glad to hear everything is working out for you. Should run Very well when it's all done.

Burt... That LT1 Mod is a hard mod to do man! Very Hard!

And as far as the cage, I just want it for the looks. I could care less how fast the car has to go before it's required. I just think they look awesome in an F-Body.

Thanks. I am comfortable with the rwhp I have calculated at the boost level I will start with, just need to have the rear suspension to support it. May even be able to keep up with a stock LS1...
I am curious, why did you decide on rod-rod on your LCAs and PHB? I did a lot of research on this subject, and I would like your viewpoint on this.

To be honest, I have the rod/rod LCA's on My Formula and I love them. I had the poly/poly LCA's on it and for the first time ever I had the WORST wheel hop I had ever felt in ANY car. I immediately put the rod/rod ones back on and there was never another issue with wheel hop! So I didn't even want to bother with rod/poly due to the fact there may have still been SOME wheel hop and I didn't want to deal with that. Plus I can deal with the noise. Hell whats the use in having a racecar if it doesn't beat you up, throw you around, and keep you on the edge of your seat. (Thats what I'm aiming for anyways) Just gonna wait around on the new engine to arrive at my door this spring! And then hope for good results with it.

No one's nuts are safe around the shop. Try taking a drink of coke and right in the middle of it get your right nut smacked.
