Ill be able to go hard on this engine. Its billet rods and crank,meticulously balanced and cryogened. My weak link is my drivetrain. It's all still stock. No digs for me yet.

LT4 injectors and HPFP, 32% cam lobe with lash cap, 30GPH of meth, and likely tuning for C16. No low side system yet. Stock heads, ported by TSP with 5 angle valve job.

I have decided to gap the rings at 0.030" top ring and 0.032" second ring for anyone that wanted to know what I am going with.

I actually repolished it after this shot was taken. You'd be surprised how much black oxidation came off of it.

nice I have a same setup with lme 377 and stock heads. Going to adding lt4 pump and injectors and low side with meth. Will be tuning on 93 and meth and then on race gas. Hoping to hit 1000+ on race gas
