I thought about running the Edelbrock elbow first then seeing how much more power the Aarons elbow will make. The problem with the Edelbrock elbow is it needs to be ported out to work with the NW 102. I don't know if I want to spend the money to have it ported when I could of put said money towards the Aarons to begin with.

Thanks, but Nate still has one up on me since he already has his trans built. Didn't you run 10's at Midnight Mayhem? If so that says volumes, lol!!

I hope to hit the dyno Wednesday or Thursday. Waiting on my coil pack relocation kit from Pace so I can install my Pontiac valve covers.

god that looks so sick in the last pic!

Thanks

Hell of a setup. So cleanly done. The fabricator has some talent and taste.

So bad ass to have a four door THAT powerful.
Thanks. I'm installing the Pontiac valve covers and coilpack relocation later this week to clean it up a little more. I can't wait until I get around to installing the Victor Jr. manifold and NW 102mm throttle body I have sitting in my room.

What are you doing to the motor?
 
#34 ·
If I can find a machine shop here in Vegas that I trust, I will have my block forged locally. If not I will keep saving and buy a short block from a vendor. I'm unsure about how big of a stroke I want at this point.

What kind of hood are you going to run? Build looks sick man.
Thanks. I'm going to keep the Maverick Man carbon fiber hood that is currently on the car.

Looks good
Thanks.
