Sweet! Tuning next? You should see some awesome numbers from that set up. Are you a drag racer?

No drag racing for me. Back road blasts and twisty roads are my thing. After we heat cycle the motor a few times the break-in oil needs to come out. Then I'll tweak the tune in.

I might take it just to see what it does for mph. I won't be launching hard though.

I'm hoping for 800-850 with the bigger blower, cam, and heads. Last combo did 754rwhp. Although my compression is 10.2:1 now.

Congrats! Hope your closer to that 850rwhp mark! I am contemplating going with a similar build to yours vs going all out on a ysi and rhs block. It seems like 800rwhp is much cheaper, reliable than a 1000rwhp monster, and will still put you in the 9s. If you do get bored you can always hit it with a small 50 or 100 shot.

I'm super excited to get it back!

I'm not going to lean on it too hard in the 105+ weather we have in Phoenix now. Discount Tire just called and said my new Cray Brickyard wheels are in as well. Hopefully I can get those installed tomorrow afternoon.

What tires? I was driving the Vette today on NT05R's and had a little fishtail on the fwy in 3rd.

Then again, you live in the boonies so you can get all Dukes of Hazzard without causing a 50-car pileup.
