It's looking real serious

They had to wait for the rods to be custom made.

Hahaha yeeeehawwww!
Your defintely representing blue more than I am Weny! I'm on the slower side, but I'm actually very content with the few mods I have now at the moment. Probably won' t last long though!
Wow, I commend you on your work and research into your project. Your certainly doing everything right; building up the bottom end before a rod comes out of the block! Preventative is key! haha
Good luck

I want your front bumper! I just worry that I would have to tear it up to make room for the intercooler piping. Thanks for the props, I'm anxious to see how it performs. When I get it back I'll post pics of the engine with the ss headers and the new nitrous system installed.
Should be a monster. makes me want to supercharge again.

Looks like things are FINALLY coming together on the engine. Seems like wherever I go, my project always seems to be put on the backburner. I recieved photos of my pistons, they were burnt to hell. Thats what I get for upping the boost with a smaller pulley without proper fuel tuning.
Engine is now fully fortified, new sleeves, pistons, rods, springs and valves. It should hold for anything I throw at it. Looks like I'll miss most events this year putting everything together. I have a bunch of parts I have been waiting to put in, I think I just do everything right this winter and have a nice unveiling next spring. I think most of you will be pleasantly suprised with what I've done with the car.
I've enclosed a photo of my car on crack
