Sooo whats next on your list? Are your keeping the AC?
We have a fair return policy and anything in stock would get to you the next day. Let us know next time you need something and we'll be sure and take good care of you!

converter should be here friday. I went with FTI this time around. basically I had a choice between 2 converters. 4400 that would eat a 200 shot, or a 4500-4600 that would hit alot harder off of the line n/a but only take a 150 shot. 9.5" billet converter. I opted for the 4500-4600 and when the time comes to step over a 150 shot i can send it in for a free restall. if the planets align i think a mid/low 1.4 60' is possible. I can't wait to see what a trans brake will feel like.

I have the harwood on my 99 s10 and it fits great its the bolton setup. Only thing it needs is a little prep and some clean up in the hinge are before paint.

not sure if i mentioned it in this thread, but the cam i purchased was ground wrong and i caught the mistake when checking the valve clearance. The ICL on the cam came out to a 100 instead of 106. howards cams was awesome to deal with and the new cam made it today! hopefully the P2V measurements clear and i can finally button this motor up for good! the transmission should get dropped with vince on the 4th.

my wife is going out of town this weekend, so if i decide to deal with the heat, I may clear out the garage and roll the s10 in and get started.

236/242 .612/.612 110+4 + LS2 + trick-flow 225 heads milled .030 = intake valve to piston crash. the exhaust valve clears on the extreme tight side. oh well. not my first time to flycut a factory piston.

vince has my lvl7 transmission. cant wait to hear what he has to say once he has a chance to split it open. he has a few additional things that he would like to try...that is if i can afford the parts lol. the funds are starting to tighten up.
