It's the track heat intake, trickflow heads and I upgraded to the stage 2 cam. Just a stock pulley. The engine is almost 10:1 compression. The supercharger was so I could stop filling bottles. As far as injectors. Don at Lasota Racing made me a very conservative tune for start up. He's built a lot of turbo cars over the years. He seems to feel 42s are enough. Guess we will see once I get the valves to stay adjusted. The story on the blocks goes like this. First one was decked to much and cometic gaskets suck. Builder didn't clearance the stock pan dipstick. After it chopped it off and we only found one piece. I pulled it and took it back to him. Supposedly he took it completely apart and the rest wasn't in there. Put it all back together and 200 miles into it, the piece locked up my oil pump and spun the bearings. Decided to start with a virgin block and a new builder. All was well until I found a used vortech. Put it on the car, it made mad power. What I didn't know was the crank I was using was a "cat" crank not a "scat" crank. It bent in the middle and cracked the block at the #2 main. Spun the first two bearings... but still ran. The girdle saved all the good stuff. So block #3 was machined with a forged Scat crank. Didn't have the money to have it all assembled, so it sat for two years. New wife... new kid... met a guy off Craigslist we sold parts too, later he basically showed me how to assemble the block I have now. And there we go... now I have another kid due in October. I'm just hoping I can hang on to the car and not ended up having the story a lot of guys do about the car they never should have sold.</blockquote>
