| Looks like it was a weapon before and going to be even more-so after the rebuild.
Callies make some great stroker stuff aswell, good choice! | |

| Putting a comp LSR 235-245 113lsa and 623-625 lift, I could have gone bigger but I didn't want to replace my valve springs every 12 months!! It's a really fast ramping can one of the quickest ones they had specs on - WPN346 wrote:

| Started playing with my pro ratchet install yesterday and I have it sitting pretty nice and I'm happy with the location, kinda looks like a factory item. Will look nice sitting in the car once I bolt it up [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| Well it's been a few big weeks with tuning and I finally got to race the car at heathcote last friday and it went allot better than we thought it would due to the low power it made on the Dyno which we were sure the large converter and turbo 400 would kill the power figure a fraction. The car ran 11.2 @ 125mph which is that means that the car is pushing 550hp with dead standard heads very happy with how the car ran and considering I'm still running a 3.45 ratio the car will run a 10 second pass easily with the gears and some cnc ported heads..
