Well it has been a long winter and the engine is back in and running great. Still needs a tune from Dave Dalke, but that will be accomplish very soon. Ran to Nebraska and back with no issues at all.

David,

Not going to that extent, just wanted to make it look a lot better while I had it apart and some time on my hands, so I painted and cleared most everything I could. Also added a few small bling things just so it looked as fast as it should run. LOL

Speaking of KW I now have one of his DIC installed as well.

Thanks!

Burned a whole in the #3 piston and cracked the skirts on 2 others. Strill ran a 13.27 before that, so its all good.

It's all auto engine paint with automotive clear coat over that. Easy to clean off, and looks really good.

Hey it was great to see you guys even for a short time. Yeah we had no issues with either car on the way back.

See you soon!

I was looking for these when I sent the others, so I will include them now.

I actually have an engine compartment I don't mind raising the hood on!! LOL

Hope to see a lot of you in May in Dayton!!

Looks great, man. That's probably my favorite color (black is, but literally it's a non-color) on a motor is the aluminum engine paint. I say you need to get rid of that stock intake tube and get a steel one that you can paint the same color as the rest.

Good luck, and hope to meet you, in Dayton.:)

P.S. Those idlers are pretty soft, so you will have aluminum colored belts, too.
