That would the plan and that way I could get some dialing in done. Larry

I am going with 935HP on kill.
Do we have any other guesses?

Very cool

Larry,

I like the pics. I figure it pays to do it right the first time. I see you share my point of view. I noticed there is a Champion head sitting on the workbench in one shot. What's up with that?

I am running a smaller turbo (GTQ74) with 83# injectors ( 85-90% duty cycle). I am looking to run 800-850 HP until I get it settled out. Plus I hope to continue to show it. I can see it should look really nice when it is all done. Larry

Neal, I am not 100% sure that is a champion head. It may be the other version Mike has made, but you could be right and I would have no idea Larry

Kidnet plate is the black fiber glass piece. It is preformed and they used to be easily available. You need to trim and fit them to fit. I can not help you on enlarging the photos. I am a neophyte when it comes to computers. Larry
