Don't tell Rob but my Trainer has me on a 2 week cut.
43+10 = 53lbs LOL ;)

All things being on track I expect to see something more from Brent in the way of numbers, next weekend.

To coincide with the soon to be coming engine, I have 2-3 custom emblems coming, from Jim and his wife at custom billet works. And as I understand it, his wife came up with the design idea.

They do custom badges, so no-one else will have the same design

The artwork looks really good.

I'll post up the pictures, when the badges arrive.

Pretty nice stuff, they do

For now, I am patiently waiting for news on the engine front
;)

Hmmm numbers, well I didn't specify a number when we started the build.

I specified what I was using the car for;
Road racing = 5-10%
Drag racing = 1-2%
Long highway driving / twisty roads going through the gears = 30-40% +
Local street driving = balance

Plus I have Power steering & A/C :relax:

And that I wanted reliability, and to say goodbye to my oiling and bearing woes. I also wanted manners. Choppy = okay, surging popping and rowdy, not so much

Broad nice even torque curve, and to be able to run all day at the track

Based on the engine and components, I have a guess at what those numbers might be, but I don't know the camshaft. Trusting Brent on having a good idea on this.

So based on all that I'd hazard a guess that it'll be 10+ hp and 15+torq over one of those funky tunnel ports LOL :animated_bye_bye_em

I'd probably have to pull a couple spark plug wires to make it completely fair, for you ;)
