Default the beast is almost done

Hey everyone,
I know it has been awhile since I've posted up but I figured I'd tell you I finally got my shortblock and everything in. My current setup is as follows.

2001 Stock Corvette Motor
Ported Heads (not done still waiting)
X 1 Cam 230/227 .591 .571 112 lsa
4000 stall with 2.5 str
and some tuning

I'll tell ya'll how it runs when she is done also would like to know what ya'll think.

Marc

Sounds bad *** Marc. Post up when you are gonna go to Kennedale, I will be sure to come check it out. Thursday nights are best as all the "street" cars are out there. Ricers, F-bods, Stangs, Pick-em-up trucks, etc!

Ok my heads will be done in a week and then I'm getting Nelson Performance in San Antonio to tune it for me. I'm almost done.

Yes it will fly if I dont break anything, about the tubos I'm building and iron block 346 that will handle 20 lbs of boost and IM' waiting on Nelson Performance to get his mandrel bender because we will be making custom headers and possibly marketing them for us truck guys.

Im going to build something similar but not so radical. Im thinking ZO6 long block, long tube headers, stall @ (or below) 3000, so I can still tow my race car, and some bolt ons. Just to get it into the low 13's. You know beat any ricer that pulles up a tip and a wing.
