THAT is a possibility. I do not have a really good chain so I will pick it up with my brute strength.

I think you should leave it just like this for a couple of months.

Sit back and enjoy the potential for a while.

Circle members must truly think alike. hahahaha

I thought about that earlier.

I still have to put the new fuel pump in and clean the peripherals.

Also ordering some injectors for the added fuel consumption of the extra power.

So it may sit there for a few weeks.

Still might paint it black and orange.

I did here that before. I'm adding zinc and running fossil 5/30 for 500 miles, dumping it, changing filter and running zinc and fossil oil again for 1000 more miles. Then dumping and changing filter and running synthetic but may use the Zinc still.

Not sure yet though.

Negative. Did not have the funds. If I'd have bought a crank I'd have stepped up the volume a bit. I may have to sell the car so I did what I could live with if I keep it but not do too much if I sell it. I'd liked to have though.

Back in the day my old boss built insane motors with 2 bolt main blocks & cast cranks and pushed them HARD... cast crank can take a pretty good beating
