WELD/SUTTON DIRT MISSILE build

[rustomatic]

I was indeed referring to a TA 2 car--I know nothing about actual racing classes and whatnot. What I thought was cool about the the engine setup--basically an LS3--was that they were using an LS truck (bread box) intake, and they still had MAF running. Supposedly, it was limited to 500 horses, per series rules, but the cam chop seemed to indicate other possibilities. The truck intake and 15-inch wheels (1.25 inch-thick rotors) were interesting, but I have low standards . . .

Here's looking forward to more build updates.

Greg wanted a tame LS7 ... and 700hp is the lowest power version of LS7 I offer. We have them up to 900hp, but as you can imagine, those engines come with a lot of maintenance requirements. Besides, this thing will be a beast with 700HP.

I just returned from my 10 day vacation in Yosemite. I'll jump on here Monday & post some updates & some dyno sheets.
