Nice job Steve; sounds like your NA motor will be top of the heap unless someone buys Tyler's 'friend's' C5....
Yea, for an NA motor it should be able to least have a fighting chance against all these blowers.. but the lack of weight will pay off huge in tight handling like autocross and such.

The C5R deal is sick.. although running race gas would make me sad.

I will tell you.. swapping out engine on a "done" car is a real PITA.. I really don't need to swap from the current 454 but I was asked by RHS/COMP to build something and they've always been great to me.

Really don't know what I would build to go beyond this. I could dry sump it but my Canton pan has never let down so why? To go bigger I would have to move to a tall deck block and that would mean custom headers and intake.. no thanks to either of those.

I need to spend time dialing in shocks and such.. but I learn more everytime I do this engine exercise
