If I was an inspector -- I'd have red tagged the building.

As a previous Electrician as well, that J box is a MESS!!! I can't believe some Tradesmen would do work like that nice little fire hazzard, not to mention the poor guy who has to troubleshoot in that little 4 sq box!

So last Saturday (July 26th) took the Challenger out for some testing with the new intake to Streets of Willow & hurt the engine.. I thought I was done & was not going to make the event with USCA in Portland but Karl let me borrow a back up motor for the event.. bone stock LS3 crate engine with a cam.. 525 hp crate engine.. Rev limiter was set at 6600 rpm.. no time to break in the engine.. but managed to get the engine swaped out in one day.. & off to the event. PIR was one hell of a track!!! It took me awhile to get used driving on that back straight..

Some video! I made due with what I had.. was early breaking with appexing.. but that is where I felt comfortable driving.. Plus it sucked being down HP & torque!

[GregWeld]

There is no break in on a roller cam motor....

Chris what program or app are you using for the video capture with data? Also on the rear spoiler do you make something like that for a first generation camaro?

I hadn't followed this build since way back when all the driveline was sold off up until now when it popped up in Hot Rod's recent issue. I had missed the post above in the meantime.

So are two custom built and one stock with a cam LSs still cheaper and easier than a well built 3G Hemi?

Last I checked an Indy Cylinder Head 426cid 3G Hemi with 720 hp is $18,500. An Arrington 440cid 3G Hemi making 630hp is $16,950. I think those are right there in the hunt price and power wise with some of those Mast offerings.
