Ok. It's finally back in the garage and ready to set in the car.

10.1:1 compression ratio and some added volume. Bigger motor now. (exactly one cubic inch)

Honed the scratches out of the walls. hahaha

Bigger cam than was in it before and forged pistons and rods for more boost. Along with the lower compression it should be really nice and safe for good power.

So I'll be starting the build this coming weekend.

Fist question is should I paint it?
I want to paint it orange and black like the car but not sure how it would look.

My plan is to swap out the fuel pump with a ZL1 pump and use my existing BAP as well. I don't think the ADM pump or others like it are necessary. Power should be around 750 to 800 BHP so I''ll see how it goes.

Ordering some 'Fast 85# Fuel Injectors' but got some shaky reviews. Any opinions on that I welcome as well.
