So maybe the Big Red POS will run soon:eyes:

I really wanted it to be ready for the shootout but it doesn't look like that'll happen. I still have a lot of little things to tie up. Not to mention the FAST conversion and new fuel pumps. I'll post up pics of it all periodically here and share my problems, findings, and results.

:takethat:

We're ok, but the have spread quite a bit... there's only 1 gate open on Camp Pen. and that's where my kids go to school and where my wife works. Supposedly it's contained for the most part now though so that's good.


Now back to the topic at hand;)

LOL... yeah my bad guys. I've been too damn busy with work and haven't even gotten it shipped here yet:bang: I'll post pics as soon as it's here though.

Specs are;
LQ9 block bored .030
Mahle pistons
Scat rods
all balanced
ARP head studs and main studs
Patrick G spec'd cam

Top end is;
Patriot stg III LS6 heads (contemplating the Trick Flow LS2 heads instead)
sold the ported FAST 90 (looking into a DP FAST 92 from Nitro Dave)

Nothing out of the ordinary, built for nitrous... lots of nitrous.
