Done right, you should run 12s with N2O. Tune carefully, and good luck!

Photo tip: press the little "flower" button on the camera next time you take pics of a spark plug!

It's not quite as bad as it looks for itsself. It gets a heavy body caddy from stop to cruise pretty quick. What I think is funny is that motor is an aluminum block with iron heads lol

So, what all do you have planned for this engine? Maybe a bulleted list would help me out. It's hard to follow everything that has happened in this thread.
