So many builds with engine blowing

but I guess you gotta pay to play right? Sux that your engine blew up but your new engine is looking nice n clean, hopefully it will take all the power you throw at it

. Sub'd for future updates.

Yikes! That tuner needs to have his hands cut off so he can't ever tune another car again. Sounds like its going in a good direction now though.

And here is a pic I took after I finished the headlights. Amber delete plus all black housing and daytime red demon eyes. I put the intercooler on to get and idea of how it would look.

Got my car back last week, only drove it home and put it away. It was driving so smooth and awesome didn't do any WOT pulls just cruised and felt great. Gotta do an oil change and she will be good to roll. Here are some pics of rod #2, the piston was gone.

Once it warms up a little I'll get some more pics of the bay etc, just too cold to do anything. I have a spoolin' up COP to put on and clear cam gear cover and some other goodies.

Shout out to Raif and the guys at RRT Motorsports for my new build.
