I would like to be competitive in the Super Street class... Mid to high 10 would make me happy

Better shoot for 10.0x if you want to be competitive in SS. At least up here you do. Too many Dimitri's around these parts throwin down 9's in their SS trucks. :D:thumb:

There are a lot of races where the quickest truck doesn't win. And there aren't "too many" throwing down nines consistantly.

Your right. But I've seen how many fast trucks there were in Edmonton. If you don't run at least a low 10 chances are low on winning. Unless like you say they can't hold together!:D

I'm going to run it one last time on the stock engine then pull it out :D. Im pondering everthing except rod selection. I would really like to run Fingers pistons but at 1600$ plus rings and pins id rather just go forged. It's getting a girdle, standard head studs, main studs and 60% over injectors from Exergy. More info to follow

That would have been with rings and pins, but I understand wanting to stay with something that has some miles on it. I would have liked to see you stress test them.
