STL94LT1: Your topend pieces seem to make it fly-119 in the quarter is surprising. Almost have to wonder if the LT1 finished port was better than their LT4 port? My short block is pretty standard so easy to replicate-admittedly chose the 4340 items and H-beam rod when most say they are not required, but small price to pay at 41,000 miles it is bouncing off the limiter yesterday at the autocross with nary a glitch.

The Green Rocket: I've heard the weight issue, but not the open diff. The salt is a different world-would like to visit/compete someday. The different trans gears would be beneficial for the acceleration events I imagine-the car had a noticeable 'lug' to it when going from 4th to 5th...some nitrous ought to pick up...what 10-20 mph?
