Hey Lex:

Glad you joined in on the fun I got those MLS from some really nice and informed Chinese guy that I met once in Florida!!! I think he is a Lextremer, LOL Since then, he and I have become good friends... Do you happen to have any idea whom he is???

I agree. We will need to have a 6 Bolt Main V8 FI Shootout , and a meet after. I am serious. Let's plan it for spring next year. We should meet somewhere in Texas, maybe in JBrady's town.

Looking forward to it!!

Ryan

it's actually my town ( H-town ),... cuz he doesn't race nearly as much and is older and wiser

I'd be definately in the house to see either one of those rides and probably in line to do the same thing...

What are the gaskets going to lower the static compression to?
How much were they?
are you going to use arp studs?

Do you have pistons or rods?

What other supporting mods are you doing to go single?

Sounds like a Garrett New Technology Turbo called GT series. How about GT40? Its rated at 650 bhp..... Will be a good turbo. Love to have that. However, i was looking for future upgrades. The GT42 is too big and GT40 is too small for my application. Too bad Garrett doesnt make a GT41. Ryan, have u seen the GT40 Compressor Map?
