did 868 on 45 overs with a mild tune from trent, ran 11.89 at bandimere on 100 overs and a beat trans and blown up converter. Havent had time to get back to the track since i've been working at suncoast but i will next summer. I know the truck has a lot more in it right now than 868 and 11.89 but havent been back to the track/dyno to get the slip to prove. I have my reasons for wanting to get into the short block and parts list I have, if you don't agree thats cool. I unlike some people can take critism good or bad, without getting butt hurt:thumb:. BTW I saw your truck @ fall fuel fest, and actually talked to you with Raymer and you didnt even know!

So nice of you to introduce yourself? Maybe next year. Not like I would act any different if I met you in person.


So, are the carrillo's bent? What "wrong" with the current engine to make a legit reason to pull it back out and spend another 10k?
wanna sell it, I dont, I wanna sell it, I dont. make up your mind :D

Mind as well talk to Guy about a billet crank too since $$ is not a problem.

After the fiasco that happened on the first build I dont blame him one bit for wanting to take it apart to check it out.. If all you guys went through the same chit he did with his first build there would be a question in the back of your mind as if it all was done 100% correct..

You're def a lot quieter than in person than you are on here bryan! :thumb:

As are you. We can go at this chest pounding all day. Makes you look worse for a rep for SC :thumb:



IIRC did Newly go through this engine about a year ago? Everyhting was fixed/changed and you were happy? Not so much now?

Not sure what you are talking about brian? no chest pounding here buddy. Do you try to take everything said and change it into an arguement?


As far as work at UPD: The heads were replaced, bigger nozzles were done and a few other things were done. Nothing was touched in the short block. The truck has been running fine but i'm planning on being more active with it next year and want to make sure everything is good to go

Dan, dont be upset. Everything on my truck has PPE's name on it!

Not upset, I am curious if you were planning on running LB7 regs on the kit as their kit does not allow LBZs reg to be used... not sure if you are aware if this or not (your thread said "input welcome")

No sir! Just doesnt add up why you want to rebuild your engine again when its going to help little in the long run. Already have proven rods in your motor... so why the change? Hell your engine only has what 6k miles on it? Youve taken care of all the stock parts... I personally think your wasting your time and money but, you know more than me, as im still buying motor parts..
