Still a wet deck. This builder had the insite to compensate for the extra stress of half mile runs with a more robust cooling system on the block and heads

Man that's awesome. It had to of been tempting to just sell it and get a Lambo or something, but hopefully this new engine holds up so you can have some fun with it!

It's his first love, I guess, so it's best for the car (her) - and all of us following this thread - to have an epic final of the second season. And probably the last season of the major changes to the car.

Kurt Urban, his experience in the LS world is unmatched. This may or may not be a clone of Mark Carlyle's engine with a few changes for street use.
Upgrades, engine swap and tuning will be done at Addicted Performance. Dropping the car off soon to let the fun begin.
Stay tuned for pics from the motor build and a plethora of youtube videos with all the updates on the car.

Nice cage.
I think you look into installing a fire suppression system in the vehicle.
