Very nice list Matt. The only problem I see is with the verb in the above sentence. Actually I'm surprised that the boys would do all this work on an engine that hasn't even been broken in

By the way Matt reacted when I took him for a ride last year, I think he'll have to keep pulling over every 10 minutes to calm down from all the laughing and fun he's going to be having.
Advice: KEEP TRACTION CONTROLL ON!!
Nice list of mods. Alot of those sound farmiliar.
See ya at the track!!

Good for you Matster...So jealous...Hope to see you in June in
Oshawa...You and the beast...

SQUALO · 04-12-2011, 05:53 PM

Hey Mat,
How about some "work in progress" or "teaser" pics or do we have to wait for the finished product?

BLACK67 · 04-12-2011, 05:55 PM

Uhmm...Where did they find room in their shop for your car Matt?

B-rad · 04-12-2011, 06:12 PM

That is going to be one awesome ride. Definitely a little jealous. Except for the part that you have to wait till the end of the month to drive it. I was hoping to get mine out of storage today, but got called into work. Looking outside at the sun is killing me to wait. I hope the weather is still good tomorrow.

Yes - the Spi guys rock!

Thanks Bob, weren't you thinking about getting some work done too? I am planning on be in Oshawa in June, probably be back and forth between the two events.

Hey Frank,

I have left that up to Alain. If he has the time I am hoping he will post some pics, but if he can't, I completely understand as they are REALLY busy.

If I can get away this weekend I may take a trip down and see how things are going and take a few pics while I am there.

SHOTTY!!!!!!

Congrats Matster, the SPI guys seem to be busy doing Strokers lately. Here's mine awaiting the new Motor 417 Stroker. I am sure Alain will get you some pics.

Thanks Bill, so are you having Ted build you the 417 or having it done locally? I had a quick look at your build thread, NOICE

So did you decide to go with the stroked option for more power or peace of mind and durability?

69 Rebel · 04-14-2011, 09:46 AM

SPI is doing this build Matt, hence my comment about them being busy doing Strokers lately.

It started out as a build for peace of mind and durability since i had the Maggie on and was pushing 9.5 psi of boost. But during the build and conversations back and forth between Alain and myself, i seem to have lost my way and the snow ball effect kicked in. So now we are swapping out the Motor and going for 700 RWHP

Hey maybe we get our cars at the same time, that could be cool to be testing 2 strokers outside SPI's shop, talk about some serious smoke shows

If not ill see you in Oshawa, we can compare notes.
