Yes to ensure clearance of the Moroso oil pan.

Probably lost some weight too. Any idea how much that little mod is worth?

Having fun removing that frame grease?

Yes with the front cross-member it did drop a bit of weight but I can't remember how much, want to say only 15-20 lbs. So not as much I had hoped but I am still looking for things do drop weight. Already working on getting some Lexan for the front windshield and rear. Also wanna pick up the hub kit from Madman but am being cheap for once, I am still on the fence.

Actually I have been enjoying it if you can believe that lol

I've seen good numbers out of these 454 LSXs, some near 700rwhp. Looking forward to seeing some single digit E.T.s!

Just click on the wheel size you want and it will tell you the backspacing available.

Odds are this setup will only last a season or so. Have something more aggressive up my sleeve to play with the big boys...

With the cylinder pressure not being that bad with the huge cam I know the compression could have been 12.5:1 and safe. But didn't wanna change the pistons or deck the **** out of the heads for a good reason down the road...

fair enough. Rad looking build!!
