I'm Back (almost)

Hope to see some test runs in the next 2 or so weeks.

I finished assembling the motor a few weeks ago. A lot of time in this bad boy.

Special thanks to:

Nitro Dave for a killer nitrous setup.

2 foggers, and is that a plate on the bottom side? If so, you're not messing around.

How big is the motor, and what is the goal?

The motor is only 402 cubes.

As far as my goal, I really don't know at this point. Just hope to have a little fun and be faster than last year!

He got enough nitrous to blow him self up, PERIOD!

No that is awesome. How much juice will you be running? A few 150+ stages?

Interesting. You stayed on the smaller side of things CI wise which I am curious as to why (unless it was a cost thing then I understand all too well)

I am considering staying in the 400ish inch range as well (Billy Glidden school of thinking)

There was no theory behind it. I have a large LSX motor in the works. This is going to be my "back up" for the large engine but will let me get a lot of testing in before we go 440+ cubes and 6 bolt heads.

Got ya, and it makes sense.

I wish I could afford to build just one big motor nevermind a backup.

Sounds good though!
