yeah those things are massive
well on a somewhat positive note for me. somehow my car is still running (rod I think you're the only one that knows the reasons) but I just need to order 3 more parts (valve springs, cylinder sleeves, and head studs) and I can drop my other block off to get built
finally. Hopefully my new turbo gets here before next weekend so I can get that thing in cause my car wont get over 16psi now and it just feels so slow, that and the James Bond smokescreen I throw out the tailpipe is getting a little annoying.

Of course the smoke screen thing would get a bit annoying. I hope you are back to beastly power soon.

And I definitely don't want the cops chasing the rear end unless they are at the track.

well if everything comes in this week like it's supposed to, should be back up to par and more... hoping for a nice even 400whp on the stock setup with the new turbo... gonna be pushing it though, especially with the stock clutch at over 29,000 miles lol

stock everything as of now (Pnp head and cams are for new motor) just want to see what you can actually make with this thing. Got it up to 370whp now with your help, and that was on a turbo on it's last legs. I think I might be able to do it on 23psi and pump gas, if not I'll through in some C16 and see what it can do lol. I'm not gonna push it like that though til the new motor is built, cause I have a funny feeling my motor is gonna have a few decent size holes in it after that.
will do man, hopefully our spot is still good for runs by then, have a nice battle of the turbo LSJ's.

After many bumps on the road it is finally taking shape. Hopefully the crank guy isn't just pulling your crank and actually does what he says he said he will.
Oh yah thanks again for the calendar my friend.

And, your welcome friend.
I fixed that for you.
I know what you mean because I only have a fraction of the money I had.
