Rob has been patient and a good guy to work with, despite his choice in cars or motors. Rob's chassis should be back from powder coating any day now. Then it gets assembled and off to Cali. I'll post a few pics up when it arrives.

As long as you keep my car safely away from those LS motors you guys are all right No need to defend yourself on my thread, my build experience with RS has been great

A month? You call that recent?

Less than a month. You know, about as long as you've been waiting for your crank

Back and a little lower, nothing drastic since my firewall remained stock.

Blair Patrick has used the same header guy for 15+ years. He's in AZ. I'm going to have him build my headers. Same primary sizes and collector design we ran on the dyno.

Stop hiding behind the delay claims and conceded you can't beat the sideoiler

bottom oiler is a good way to sum up DG's motor. Kinda like Taco Bell.

DG doesn't have a motor only parts. Lots of freshly reconditioned parts
