cool, who will be making your custom cam, and do you know if you will be needing to upgrade to stronger springs and lifters, hopefully they can squeeze every single hp out of it while also keeping your engine safe not having to replace parts very often.

Wow... that's all I have to say. Great Job T&T and Dave. I can say first hand (he tuned my RJT) that Dave is top notch and knows his stuff, if your in the area and you need a tuner he's your guy.. okay I'm finished with the plug.

Tim ordered the custom cam, I do not know his supplier. Yes we will be switching to a 3 bolt cam and upgrading to dual valve springs. The goal is to get as much out of the build as possible. We will be adding a cooling mist system as a safety margin. I'm really excited to see where we end up.

At this point, I think traction is going to be the biggest problem. But right now the stock tires are the fuse protecting the drive train.

Great story to follow, I wonder what it would do with a 4" stroker crank and forged pistons and rods. If you are gonna keep this car 12 years you may as well forge it. Plus I would really like to see if it can make 800 rw on pump.
