Wow! Sweet build, congrats.

what a badass

Good choices on the build and good luck with everything. I am going through a similar process but I'm not doing the work myself.


Earl

Looks good. Do you have any power goals?

Awesome

looks good man

Dammit son, looking good!

goodluck!

Thought I would throw this out, several shops i spoke to always recommended against going with MSDs coil packs, and said stock was best even up to around 900rwhp.

Looks great so far, good luck with the remainder of the build!

Nice build going on.
Did you get the bigger wrist pins? The standard wrist pins are the weak point in those pistons. I seen them break at 550 whp.

Looks good Paul. Love watching builds like this.

That's a badass big pimpin balla setup man! Subd.

Ditto. What's the aim?

And those pistons look all pretty sitting in the block.

Great build you got going.

Looking good man. You should be a pro at this before long with as many builds as you have done on your stuff, lol.

Nice build. Why the IAT sensor in the intake though?

Looking good man!
