You kidding' me? I could start a business selling bottles of touch up paint as nail polish to all the women who get dragged to car shows. And to think I wanted to just paint it gray.

Matt,

Not everyone hates the purple.

You just need to embrace your true target market.

It was also purple and white and had his familiar #99.

Thank god most the pictures black then were black and white.

4.600 bore on a 4.375 stroke crank.. Lunati lightweight stuff.. targeted compression ratio of 10.7:1 .. new COMP four-lobe hyd cam and a T&D shaft rocker system.. hope to make peak power at 6400 and rev to just under 7000.. Haven't finished spec'ing out the cam yet.

Carb at first then a FAST EFI .. the new one that can support up to 1000 hp.

Thank you for doing a non-LS.

With your cam/shaft rocker/rev plans, I bet you are easily over 800 hp with that thing.
