Ever thought about cropping and downsizing pics. I'm sure you have a nice motor, but it's takin way too long to download.

The motor looks and sounds sweet!
I have a cable connection at home. I will DL them, resize them and upload them again for you. I would love to know the TQ and HP ratings as well. I would give a guess of around 380-400+HP and 400-450+TQ. If you dont mind me asking, how did you have to spend to get all together?

Looks Great! Wouldn't want to trade me that Miniram for my superram would ya? 
Oh yea I have about the same setup, 383... 1 peice rear seal, eagle cast steel crank, eagle I-beam rods, SRP dish 40cc pistons, edelbrock 60cc heads, lpe 219 cam, 1.6rr, crane lifters, comp cams moly rods, superram, 30lb injectors... blah blah.
I'd really like to know how that runs, mine runs pretty good , just took the 3.73's out for 3.23's, don't need the steep gears with that torque!, runs alot better with the 3.23's, but I have a T5.
Again, looks good!

hey thanks for the help on those pics, I just swapped digi cams with my friend, this one is ****! lol... ok well Ive added up the receipts, the motor alone is worth over $12,000 CDN... plus I have a vortech S-trim supercharger... which I plan on putting in after about 1000km or so! I cant believe that pic turned out so nice, with the car in the backround it looks sweet! too bad the shop looks like ****. As for numbers... the guy who built it said he thinks 400-450 hp but thats thinkin optimistically id say... but with the blower @ 18lbs of boost im sure it will be up around 550 or so.... we'll see! the DFI is going to be a freakin nightmare!

The old ones look like crap but you only have so much money

oh ya good point,.... Im running a serpentine setup so I had the brackets for the blower and the a/c etc powdercoated the same colour as my racing stripes... looks really nice....are you running a DFI too?
I posted a question about building a similar engine...

.... is that canadian? if so what would that be in american dollars?
I want the same setup, but i was thinking AFR heads and a D1SC ATI procharger
