Head gasket company? yeah right!! these are going back on the motor!



I think I figured it out....it has to be from VP Race Fuels, cause that's all this motor uses up!

If I was an engine builder, I would rather have ONE NA customer as TEN turbo customers, cause the NA motors are going to need a LOT more parts than the turbo guys are, and the NA stuff costs BIG $$!!

In all seriousness, all these parts have right at 90 passes and probably a total of twenty dyno pulls on them. Rod took the motor apart to put rods in it. Hate to, but we got no choice with this many hits.



(however, we wont talk about stuff like rearend housings and wheelie bars.)

Sorry, I had to.

TQ


Damn Travis! You are making me want to go the turbo route!
