[Slowhawk]

The motor probly won't last long since it's just a throw away to setup the car.

[c4boom]

with that bottom end why is it a throw away?

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

hahahaha maybe you didnt hear his boost levels and times. it will go boom. i dont even think a factory block regaurdless of crank/rods will hold after a ton of runs?

[c4boom]

true. can you do a fill on a LS block and a girdle

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

Cage done yet?????!

[DemonWithin99]

[DemonWithin99]

[Slowhawk]

1000 rwhp on a stock block and a ????? Crank....... i smell disaster in a badass sort of way!!!!

Thats why it is a throw away motor.

I'm thinking 800rwhp will put me into the 8's. 1000rwhp is for the X275 class which is only 1/8 mile.

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]
