It's kinda like playing Tetris. It sure helps that I don't have a fuel cell or batteries in the trunk! If you need to change wheels for track and street, it almost requires a trailer although I have...

I've always used Ultra Gray. Several years with no issues. If nothing else, it's not as noticeable with aluminum heads and silver headers.

I really can't give you a solid answer to that question. It's been a long time since I checked it and I didn't take notes. I want to say 180ish.

It was a 463 with flat tops zero decked and 80cc chambers. That put me right at 11:1. Ran fine on 91 octane pump gas. This build is probably going to cost 50% more than it would have a few years...

Yes, I forgot to add that. Factory N crank that I have raced since 2013 and it was in a race build before that. I now know it should have been cycled out for a forged crank....
