Thanks guys. Its been a long road for this thing but its finally shaping up to my vision I had when I first bought it. The build coming will consist of a built short block all forged internals built for 900hp with TF heads from fox lake and custom ground cams for my particular application from L&M. Im probally going to have to go ahead and pop for a upgraded fuel system to boot due to the power level this will set at. The only fuel mods I have now is 60lb injectors and dual 255 pumps and Ill need 80lb injectors, new rails and possibly a new hat. Id rather do it right the first time rather than be sorry later than I didn't. The last thing will be a new trans but that will come closer towards the end of the year. Ill keep you guys up with the progress. thanks again for the props

good question, to begin with I wanted swing outs, but after talking to the guys at the shop we decided to make the bars removeable instead of just swing outs. The way its going to be done will be more sturdy and solid than having swing outs, plus I can remove them for the weekly driving and then pop them in for race weekends.
