Since videos like that aren't allowed here this will be my last post here, but yep it sure is fun. If i could do it over i would stroke it. That was probably the most boneheaded move ive ever done with a car. Spent the same amount of money and left 50hp on the table..damn! I was originally going to do a 355 to save some money and use the stock rods but have them ARP'd, use the stock crank , damper etc and just use forged pistons. But I was convinced by a lot of people to go forged because how i drive the car. I had already bought the block with the rods and pistons, so I couldn't get a refund. I'd still like to throw some nitrous on it, maybe just a 100 shot? I know the rings weren't gapped for it, but do you really think it would hurt it if i only used it once in a while? I can control myself with it...
I don't DD it as I'd like to save the engine life for trips and such. When i do drive it, i usually do at least 2 or 3 burnouts lol. The cam sounds great and really does pull , it pulls hard right up to 6500 RPM. It is VERY smooth. In reality i should have went a little bigger with it. I'm going to have the limiter adjusted to 6900 and shift at 6700. I keep hitting it every now and then which drives me nuts.
