I cleaned them off at Muncie, I warmed them a LITTLE bit at Indy. No smoke, just heat. Track was greasy anyway.

60' times were ****. 2.2-2.3 seconds.

I have a Ford 8.8 IRS going in this fall with 3.55 gears, should help a LOT with boost out of the hole. The rest is driver mod, car should cut 1.8x 60' times with my current setup, better with more tire.

N/A or TII? Stock or ported? If you're just looking for a stocker, a good used motor might be your best bet, short of spending money with someone who knows what they're doing (which is, by definition, not cheap).

Eh? I don't personally have any, but I know a few guys with some stock N/A and TII motors around (V8 swap crew) that are in running order. Probably a lot cheaper/more reliable then a stock rebuild.

In my car, a 5.3L LSx based motor with a T56 manual transmission and a small turbo.

I'll post up on the forum and see who has what and what prices.

Dakota, you have a TII already, or are you trying to do a turbo swap?

And what series are you guys looking for, S4 or S5, need engine harness, just need a keg, etc?
