I want your engine buddy. LA Invasion is a lot of fun, I'm sure the LS3 will run some impressive numbers. I'll post up engine bay pics as soon as it stops raining.

I wouldn't go back to sbc lol, just poking fun at the washed up guy living off his past accomplishments claiming it was easier to make 500rwhp with a 327

It only took a few hours by myself to drop the whole engine so it should be up an running in a few weeks. After that I'm going to take it to Irwindale Speedway 1/8 track and test out the Tick Master Cylinder.

I'm looking for a Fast 90/90 or 92/92 for a decent price(not more than MSRP) if any comes across one.

Fixes shifting issues for T56 transmissions.

Our Adjustable Master Cylinder successfully flows more fluid than any other master cylinder available, makes clutch disengagement issues a thing of the past (with ANY clutch), uses a simple turnbuckle adjustment system and installs in 60-90 minutes.

Do your pedals have the brace that runs over to the clutch master area?

4th gen pedals have a thin brace that just mounts to the firewall but nothing sturdy to prevent this issue

Tell me about it, specially sucks when you are at the track and you can't shift into any gears!!!!

I saw the piece, hopefully the new brace will work out.

I really like that man!
About how much did that cost you? I am debating on re-painting the one I'm working on red (the same color it is now) or this color you have here.
