Going to be a stroker but LS7 is out of my price range.

Good luck on the build and make those guys take lots of pictures and provide updates. I think it is also appropriate that Justice Pete make the handling a little better to go along with the new found NA power!

Sorry to hear you had valve problems on yours. I hope you find a good solution.

I am sure not the fastest guy out there in the corners, and I have a lot to learn yet, no question about it. I've been working on adjusting my lines away from the generic line and towards a high horsepower line - so, on a big 180 degree corner, braking hard and going deep on the entry, cranking the wheel really hard and then getting right back on the gas to make a straightish line out. That's really different than the lighter cars that try to make a nice arc out of the whole thing. It's hell on the brakes but I have picked up at least a second on a corner when doing it that way.

Anyhow, am eagerly waiting to see what JusticePete's engineering group will recommend. I know we'll get lots of pics as things come together.
