Fixed, LOL....

So judging by the engine cover I'm thinking it came out of an 05 SS instead of a 2500 like he said.

You guys say this one looks clean - what's a dirty one look like?

Sure looks like an LQ9 to me...

Just remember your CR just went up to 10.1:1 so keep the boost to 12psi (unless you are gpomg forged?)

Just saw the radix in the sig -- you are golden!

For some reason, people think SSS are 2500s -- a lot of people tell me this when I'm buying parts lol.
