Default Rebuilding for 9's... Lets get this done!

Well after many conversations and debating, pulled the trigger today with a site supporter, Thompson Motorsports. I wanted a little more cubes for DD/boat pulling, but wanted it work with my current converter and BW turbo.

After speaking with Kyle, we are on the same page about what I need to get this done right.

Engine is going to be..

Iron ls1 / 346
Callie Rods
Diamond Pistons 3.905 bore/-1.8cc
ARP mains, factory crank.

Heads are likely going to be 317's with light clean up to 71cc, so compression should come in around 9.4 /1. Also if my Tu1 cam is good, I plan to re-use it with another TBSS intake.

Likely going to put a 1.25 a/r on the borg warner to help flow the extra cubes and let it eat. Goal is simple, 9's and not need a engine diaper.

I will keep you guys posted on pic's. Kyle said he would send some out when they start on it in about 10-14 days.

Getting excited!
