My bank account is empty. I went FI cracked a piston and turned around and did a 416 forged stroker. The car is still at Lethal Racing. Hoping to get it back here soon. This time around I hope the monster survives..... It wasn't pretty on the bank account for sure...

I intend to post a build thread when all is said and done including some pics. I hope to get a track run or two in before it gets way to hot here. I may have to wait till fall when it cools down a bit...

Whoa.....don't look at it as money down the chute. It's more like an "opportunity" to upgrade. Albeit unscheduled

If when it comes back it is the dream car that I originally wanted I will be very happy. It has been a long wait but hopefully fall car show season and test and tune will reap some rewards..... Good thing is I think I have the only Blown and Stroked Vette in my area at this time... hehe it will sure make the Mustang guys uncomfortable when I pop up on the scene.... Lots of supercharged stangs in this area...
