Hell yeah, I'm gonna finish this project this weekend. I've been working extremely hard on this. Just got back from the machine shop to drop off my newly ported intakes (LIM and UIM) to be cleaned, and came home with the last piece of my puzzle

 

Tomorrow I install my creation. First pic is from early this afternoon, last is from 10 minutes ago, just came inside from the shop. Fram filter is old, bought a couple wix filters today.

 

She sure is beautiful!! CLEAN!

I think with this new Motor you should be eligible for ROTM again ha!

 

It really looks nice in person, before I put the wiring harness and accessories back on, I just stared at it for a few minutes. Now I won't be ashamed to open my hood anymore, lol

Oh, and leaned some stuff about my old motor. I ran 14.8 with a stock 130,000 mile engine that used a lot of oil. I found the oil. It's been leaking from the oil pan gasket, rear main, but what also was shocking was when I pulled the headers off tonight. They were full of oil and crap. One of the LIM gaskets was about as close to failing as it gets, and the UIM gasket was cracked up pretty bad. In a nutshell, I ran a 14.8 with a very sick engine, haven't even pulled the heads yet to see what's what in there yet. A new stock engine, and I would've seen mid 14's easy. 13's should be no trouble at all.

 

that first pic looks badass. how long before we hear some times? when and where u gona run it? might be worth the drive.

 

I'm hoping to run it before the season closes this year, but I've gotta do all the break in junk first before I get to run the snot out of it. If I do get out, it'll be at PIR on a saturday night. The real times to see will be next summer, when I get the spec stage 3 clutch and my nitrous, this winter I'll be pulling the T5 and building it to handle a 120 shot launch, but I can't afford the clutch right now.

 

cool by next summer i may be lookin to run mine. so how tough is it to get a spot?

 

for a v6 thats a badass lookin engine
