Need to quit messing around and go to a distributor and solid roller once you get the super sweet intake and swap to an LSX block setup. 9s NA sound nice David

i know, when i met James and we talked he told me i was wanting a solid roller but i kept saying no, he told id want one before we even ran this one, we were just talking about it today i should have listened cause youre right thats what i want as of now, but i'll enjoy what i have then seen where i end up.

lol spikes in a nitrous league of its own i'll be fortunate to see mid 9s he is a great guy, we talk often, real helpful doesnt mind sharing neither do i.

i used to skeet shoot back in the day, nothing real serious but i guess i was good at it lol firends just started calling me skeet..


i wish i would have found my issue before i pulled the motor, i would have ran at SAR with a healthy shot, we were so close to getting its fukll potiental, i wanted to run the short block on a 200 shot out the whole, i really think she would have done a high 9

One of these days when I come down to Houston we need to go shoot some sleet, I love shooting my Browning citori

You need to get that intake and the jesels before you swap to solid roller. With you current engine with the intake and solid roller valvetrain I can see some low 10s na.
