    I never really thought about it that way Joel. Well said

    The time has came folks. I watched the car roll away for the last time this morning. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot along the way. Thank you all for your help, support and love along the way.

    You are the only one to express any interest in it so far for us, haha. I thought the interest would be MUCH larger!

    We could trade long blocks and then you could run boost....I would just have the main studs I have put in!

    Pretty much any used engine LS or LT1 u will lose your ass on if u have put some dollars into it.

    Yeah I was thinking maybe you could throw in a used boost friendly cam and a head gasket swap would buy you some time on that engine but your compression is likely way too high for that to do much good

    Low 12s on a 110 lsa cam is not going to respond to boost well...

    Stock head gaskets iirc. Heads are milled .020. Bored .030 over. hypereutectic pistons (not sure on brand) arp rod and mains. All new bearings throughout.

    It's been awhile since I calculate the cr but I think it's low 12s.
