Nice video James! Can't wait to see it out this year. I swear Byron has to be downhill.

It definitely looks downhill from the video, doesn't it? You gotta love the power plant in the background too!

Thanks guys! The block is at the machine shop right now. They are checking the heads to see if there had been any previous machining done to them and then they will also check my block over. Once, I hear back from them I will make a decision on what I am going to do with the bottom end.

you might be kidding about the whole downhill part, here in ga, up north in calhoun there's an 1/8 mile track and its uphill, like u gotta either keep clutchin or use the ebrake coz u just roll back and the tree and on.. lol, i got 3 tenths of a sec faster at the other dragstrip coz it wasnt inclined!!:DeadHorse:

Thats hilarious, and would suck trying to stage on an incline!

Update on my motor: I should have it back this week from the machine shop. I have decided to stay with the stock(machined) block but I am completely forging the bottom end. I am using Eagle H Beam Rods with Mahle Forged Pistons. This block should LOVE the boost now!

What do you plan on running for boost in it now? How much power do you plan on putting down.

I am guessing that it will put down somewhere around 550 rwhp on a Mustang Dyno. The boost should be right around 10-11psi which I think will pretty much max out the P1SC supercharger. I will keep you all posted and will be sure to post up a video as soon as I get the motor back in the car.
