I am pleased to announce

Its official! For the 2007 racing season Canadian Performance and myself will be teaming up to for testing and racing on an experimental LS1 powerplant. Although this engine will be old school I am very enthusiastic about the potiental and prospects of this program. Dave is providing the engine and I am providing the car.

At this time all I can say about the engine is it will be unique in a few areas Firstly it will be a big bore aluminum rod engine sporting Dart heads. In a nitrious combination equiped with carb and fogger. A powerglide will back this powerplant up. I will let you guys ask Dave all the particulars on the engine. Dave has made great progress on this engine and already has everything for the engine except the block ( waiting on shipping) and pistons. 2007 should be allot of fun and I am very happy to back to just F-body racing!

Respectfully Yours

Vince McCauley
