My pile is now on the cart at Pettis also, so we're tied. My caps might be straighter though. Maybe I'm in the lead. Hopefully it's back to me by end of February as Jason mentioned. It's just a short block assembly and all the parts are there so hopefully no surprises. Then another month or so to have it in the car and running. I plan to take a week off from work in March to make some decent progress on it. Got a lot of sh_t to hook up and measure with the new EFI system and new manual transmission setup. Once it's running and drivable, we'll strap to a chassis dyno and do some fine tuning and generate some numbers. Then we can argue on the conversion numbers to match up with your engine dyno numbers.

So how the hell did I get drafted into this dyno thread? That's messed up.

Nope, you 2 should continue to duke it out. The ribbing is priceless.

Well I guess that says it all..... it is a Chevy .

Maybe you and DG can add your #s together

Actually I'd like to make a motion that adds you to the competition.

I'm kinda liking the 3-some Ford sandwich theme.

There's a motion on the floor, do we have a 2nd?

Mines a street motor built to deal with our crappy CA gas and be fairly maintenance free and run cool. You guys are running higher compression, solid roller cams, electric water pumps, etc. I don't fit in this comparison. I thought about 700HP, but that extra HP wasn't going to do me a darn bit of good with 275 street tires on the back, so I dialed back my build a little bit to make it a little more street friendly and something I'd probably enjoy a little more.

I know you're disappointed because you're standing in the ring with your gloves on and the other guy hasn't come out of the locker room yet, but he'll show up eventually.

Got it. Todd proved those were only good for mid 600s if you wanted them to stay together.
