They had to wait for the rods to be custom made.

Hahaha yeeeehawwww!
Your defintely representing blue more than I am Weny! I'm on the slower side, but I'm actually very content with the few mods I have now at the moment. Probably won' t last long though!
Wow, I commend you on your work and research into your project. Your certainly doing everything right; building up the bottom end before a rod comes out of the block! Preventative is key! haha
Good luck

I want your front bumper! I just worry that I would have to tear it up to make room for the intercooler piping. Thanks for the props, I'm anxious to see how it performs. When I get it back I'll post pics of the engine with the ss headers and the new nitrous system installed.

Looks like things are FINALLY coming together on the engine. Seems like wherever I go, my project always seems to be put on the backburner. I recieved photos of my pistons, they were burnt to hell. Thats what I get for upping the boost with a smaller pulley without proper fuel tuning.
Engine is now fully fortified, new sleeves, pistons, rods, springs and valves. It should hold for anything I throw at it. Looks like I'll miss most events this year putting everything together. I have a bunch of parts I have been waiting to put in, I think I just do everything right this winter and have a nice unveiling next spring. I think most of you will be pleasantly suprised with what I've done with the car.
I've enclosed a photo of my car on crack
