Looking forward to installing the powerplant very shortly. It finally came home over the weekend. Now the fun begins.

Sweet, that's some engine porn right there!

What balancer do you have on it? Is it a 6"?

I'd be guessing if I said it was a 6", I've never measured it. I will when I get home so I'll know the next time.

It sure feels good to see it in the garage. I'm hoping to have the rest of the car home from the paint shop in a couple of weeks.

Nice looking piece! Should really fly with that one. I'm almost finished with mine, too. Same but with a fogger and 2 plates. It's gonna be rough around my area for the stock suspension boys if I can get the car hooked up.

Thanks everyone!! The set-up this year is the same as last year only different. Same cubic inches, but more HP and more torque. Last season we were hitting it with way too much nitrous, and the results were costly. The tune-up last season was not for our car, and the testing went on all season. It was basically the first year for everything.

With all that behind us now, things should be different. The most important thing we learned the hard way was when it comes to nitrous, less is more.
