Yeah, but you would need a tanker truck of Pimp Juice to get the car hooked up!!!

Sorry to hear the cams took a hit on your son's car

It REALLY Sucked when we got new cams and pulled the other cam cover.... But that is another thread coming this week. Damn thing ate a valve on #1 and broke the head along with the CC and a piston!

So, no break in miles for me yet.

I can see how that might have been confusing. I was talking about the earlier post about the kids car, mine is fine. Lol

You have Manley Pro I-beam rods right? Are they they lightweight version or standard?

Yes and standard weigh.t

Just to clarify, I have been running the Lightweight Pro series rods. I thought they were the STD weight, but I was wrong. I ordered 2 STD weight rods to replace the damaged ones from last time and they are WAY beefier.

Intake valve stem broke on cylinder number one, then theam hit the rocker which in turn hit the lifter and broke the oil galley out in the head.

Interesting. I'm also running the lightweight. What did you use for the new stock stroke crank? STD weight of course are heavier, by now they should also have the 300M series.

I have the Lightweight now in the motor. After seeing the STD weight rods, I ordered a set to build another stroker, maybe a Big bore, IDK.

Its still running and I dont know describe it , but Im bored with it. I go make pulls and it " No longer makes my hands shake".

Maybe its the fact that there is a Big Bore build in the works. IDK

Drink a pot of coffee before you drive it.

I do know what you mean though. "Chasing the high" is tough with straight line stuff because it gets crazy expensive really fast. That's one of the reasons I like going around corners. You don't need a ton of money to scare the crap out of yourself at the road course.

I have thought about road racing, just requires a completely different car then what I have now. Maybe I just need to get back to a track of any kind. Not to mention all the work I have done to the kids car instead of focusing on mine. Then there is the constant fear of something breaking and having to fix shit.

Spent the afternoon pulling the trans out of the kids car... Drove mine to the convenience store and back... Lol

Funny how that happens. I remember telling my friends I didn't think my 01 was that fast. They would basically call me stupid.

I'm curious about your big bore build. I've been thinking about starting the work on mine.
