Default Fixing to get a little faster.......

Well I got tired of the truck sitting around not doing anything, and haven't had it where it was fast in quite a while.So I got off my *** and have been busy lately.

I dropped the motor off at LME in Houston last weekend. It should be ready to pick up within the next two weeks. It is going to be a 370 with Callies rods, Wiesco pistons, stock crank, AFR 225 heads, Yella Terra roller rockers, and will have 9.5 compression.

I keep going back and forth on whether to keep it turbo or not. I have my kit up for sale right now, and if it sells in the next couple of weeks then I will get a jack shaft TVS 2300. If not the turbo is going right back on along with the Alky control kit that has decorated my spare bedroom for the last year.

I also have a few boxes that Rick from Trick dropped off last night that will be going on if it stays turbo.

The Radix was loud like that, but the new TVS units are very quiet. I took a ride in a TBSS with a TVS 1900 yesterday and you can barely hear it.

where is LME are they local?? i wanna have a motor built for my titan next year, basiclly swap into forged c-rods, lower compression forged pistons /w the inverted domes, and do a lot of head work to flow test, port matching, and get every once of hp out of this motor they can and still not have to run over 16lbs of boost on pump gas.. Also would want a faster higher revving motor so doing some crank work will be needed as well.. my goal is around 700-725 rwhp
