Default Finally...Progress on motor!

Well, got the Keith Black pistons back from the thermal coating process. Had the side skirts done also while at it. How do ya like them? Almost too pretty to hide inside the block!
They left right away for the machine shop to be balanced. Looks like it may go back together later this month if all goes as planned (hasn't so far but I can hope)! Keep ya posted. Glenn

So what did you decide on the blower? Thinks you asked a while back whether to keep it or not.

What I've decided, forced by finaces, is to keep the one I have...for NOW. What I REALLY want to do is sell this whole system from manifold up including the NX nitrous rail system, bottle, etc, and go with a Hybrid Magnacharger. The intake is in front and the drive system is along the side of the blower, all very low and compact, thereby allowing it to fit under my hood. I would LOVE to get rid of that 'stack' in front, at this point, but at $5,500 for just the blower, it's out of my range currently. Mama is keeping a VERY tight watch on the cards. Glenn
