OK guys, I had planned on unvailing this at the G2G in Sacramento June 22nd but it will not even be close to getting done, this is a Huge project and I can't rush Rick, So I will let the cat out of the bag, come out of the closet, spill the beans,
First I want to thank the few people that knew for not saying anything.
Saw the pistons today and they were Beautiful, ceramic coated tops, they were a gold color. heads looked great, SS valves, the stuff was still at the machine shop so I didn't get any pictures but as soon as Rick gets the parts back to his shop before install he will get some pictures.

I asked him turbo sizes and he said it is not as simple as saying they are twin 67's or anything like that, there is a lot more to it than that, once the engine gets built he will figure out where he wants the power band to be at and will go from there, rick knows a lot about turbo's and I have all the faith in him, there is still a lot to be worked out, like fuel system, probably go with twin 420 external pumps, the intake will be a L 76 manifold

it is hard to say what boost we will run until he starts tuning and see how far we can safely push it, earlier conversations was 12psi low and as close to 20psi as we can get with out KR or pinging.
we will incorperate a safety net into the meth pump, where if the pump fails it will take us out of high boost and put it into low boost.

Pfew! Glad I don't have to keep that secret any longer

I'm sure you're bummed that it wont be ready for the meet Mark but Rick is going to build you a monster unlike anything else. You have shelled out the big $$ for the big build, let Rick do his thang and you will be burning up the asphalt.
