Scorp,your a busy guy.It would probably be easy to find your house.It looks alot like a mid-evil castle with big lightning rods on the roof,dark coulds and lightning always striking,and strange power surges for an 8 block radius in the wee hours of the morning.Yep,I believe hes been doing sinister things in the corvette lab. ;)

Wow you picked 10/11 to reveal the masterpiece? What a happy magical date. I'll call the lollypop guild and Miller Brewing to set up the festival. If we broadcast internationally maybe we can steal some tourists from Octoberfest. What are you doing for news coverage? Don't forget the Tux. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :jester

Re: Engine is IN the car! (Goody)
OK, GD. I must take lessons, my engine died back in may, and it took over 2 months to find an acceptable solutionto start my non-stroked out build!!
Here it is, October. (tomorrow) and I think that I finally got the correct piston rings.
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Re: (scorp508)
Engine build up project duration is a direct coefficient of project funding.
CASH FLOW=RESULTS
NO CASH FLOW=DRY DOCK
If you had 15-20K you could build a motor in a week that would beat anything in the street.
The fact that it is his daily driver also helps motivate him. All you guys with trailer queens or weekend only rides can be more patient.
I know I would not park mine for over a week.

Re: (Nathan Plemons)
Just because there is no way in hell you could get all of the bugs worked out by Wed and start tuning on it Saturday. Also if you were going to do it correctly you haven't really had that much time to research everything and get the whole system built the way you want it. An off the shelf supercharger kit will be fairly low boost, since you were having to build the motor anyway you would've built it for higher boost. So then you get into custom setups which simply take a good deal more time.
You know how to take the motor in and out, a stroker doesn't change that one little bit. Installing a supercharger, even a well designed kit would be very hard to do quickly if you've never done it before. Turbo's are plain out of the question because nobody makes a bolt on kit. Your exhaust would have to be completely home made, something I know for a fact you haven't had time to do.
A supercharger is possible but not likely. Nitrous is just plain out of the question because I know your personality. You want the power to be there all of time. A stroker is the fastest and easiest way to get you back on the road and still maintain complete streetability and the sleepr image. You make more power all the time and looking under the hood well it just looks like another super ram L98.
So I'll ask you again Scorp, what are your cubes? Sure you could prove me wrong, but for the reasons listed above I'll play my odds.
