Wow! That is a smooth idle!

It better do better than a 12 or he should just crash it.

Looking forward to the numbers Ray. You'll need a cage now.

Mike, Ill be happy with mid 10's. You are right. The roll bar will be one more item to add.
Thanks guys. Went out and about for a bit to clock some miles. Feels like a little more torque than before. Gonna do some 3/4 throttle runs here shortly.

I love the whine!

Is your odometer correct? You only have 6000 miles on an '06? I didn't realize you were related to Darren.

 

[rayS197]

Yes, old block had 6395 on it when pulled. I drive mine and hammer it when I do drive the car unlike Darren. And I have a Whipple blower that Darren dreams of. LOL!! Darren???

Good job. It's a good feeling firing a new motor for the first time.

Impressive build!!! Car sounds good and smooth. Any problems to report?

Thanks Darren. So far car seems tight.

Nice Ray! I'm jealous. I really want a built block but unlike you grown up men, I have no house and no wife both of which I can see in the near future. I probably should do the smart thing and save for that instead of blowing my wad on more mods even though I want to.

Ray have you gotten this retuned on the runners with 14 psi yet? Are you going to have upped the boost before the rental? Make sure you bring your camera and video so I can get the runs for you. I am not going to be racing, but will come down to hang out.

Your car is looking mean!

Nope. After more thought and speaking with some friends, I am going to add an ATI balancer and leave it. Tired of spending the money when its fast enough especially if I get into bracket racing. More power = more money= more issues. Why dont you ask your tuner to come to the rental and get yours straight?

Your car is looking mean!

Ty Sir!!
