Default 540 IA2 Build

I figured I would share my recent build as the race section is a bit boring.

540 IA2
Crower 4.5 billet crank
MGP Aluminum rods
Gibtec pistons
Jesel tiebar lifters .904
Moroso drysump pan
Moroso 5 stage pump
BOP belt drive
Book carb
John Langer's old Tiger heads, intake, and cam
Jesel rockers 1.9 both intake and exhaust

1,119 hp @ 7,800 rpm
815 tq @ 6,900 rpm

Thanks to John Langer for selling me some awesome parts and answering my questions. Thanks to Frank and Bob at All Pontiac for their help. Thanks to Wade at BOP for his great parts also. And thanks to my friend Chris Sikorski for his help with my racing endeavors.

I would post the Dyno sheet if I knew how from my phone.

It has 14.9 :1 compression.
I know John made more power with this top end, but he was also a little bigger.
It is going in my 68 Firebird.
I will see if I can send it to your email after work today Johnta1.
Thanks for all the nice compliments. It's been a long road with a bunch of issues, but my guy got it done.

Tough to slow down a na car .4-.5 to run 8.50 without a throttle stop.
