Blue on the powdercoating came out lighter than i wanted it to. originally i wanted the mag blue color off of the volk te-37 wheels. and i should be able to get close if i get a shop to clear with a flake. But the more i look at it, the more it grows on me. Comments welcome and Flame suit fresh from dry cleaners! lol

I should be goin to pick up s/c, tb, and valve cover this coming week from Jr. and dropping off my spare head with parts to get P&P and assembled. looking to put s/c, meth kit, tb, and valve cover in the next month or so and head probably won't go on til about summer with me having school starting up. since i work full time i plan to take a week off and slowly work on pulling everything, doin the nbs delete and such

well the bottom end i will do i full build once mine decides to crap out. i don't really drive far all the time so car won't be beat on too badly and only bottom end only has 41k on it. down the line i would like to do a girdled block with 4340 rods, diamond 10.1:1 pistons with total seal rings, ati super dampener. for now just decided to do the top end

around 25-26 i believe @ 7k on stock head. with P&P head probly around 22ish

Your bottom end isn't going to fail with the power up will be making. Pistons are the weak link.

it will just be raspy/drone at the lower rpm 3k below. then it will sound like a jet at wot because of the SC, you wont even hear the xhaust.
