Hey Gang!

Been awhile...but I'm back in action. Had some real life things going on but am hoping to be around more this summer.

My complete engine rebuild last summer was simply awesome. Forged pistons, rods...the guy who did it was great. I'm scared of my car again!

Can't wait to get it dyno'ed again and am hoping I picked up a bit more from the 450rwhp that it had on the stock internals.

Either way...anything going on this summer just keep me updated!


I'll check back when I can...should be MUCH more than I have been the last year or so.

Got the bug to come back when I took her out of storage on Friday...what a gorgeous day!!!

Welcome back Mark. How's that trailer holding up?

It's possible I might get a set up this summer.

Trailers doing fine...just got the new tabs for it and it might be making 1 trip in the next few weeks.

After that it should be up for sale...as I shouldn't need it after that!

Never had snow tires on her!!! :D

But...couldn't take her out when there was snow the ground.

Hit 13.5 psi today on the dry pavement and just about needed a towel.

Sorry...adults only for that comment!

So, did the stock bottom end let go or did you just prepare for more boost?

Put 30 degree angles in two of the rods.

Still ran...just not very well...the rods were bumping up against the crankshaft.

All better now though!

Glad to here your MM is back and stronger than ever. I might have my brother in-law coming up from Ecuador this summer and I'm hoping to find some track time with all of you guys. Take care.:beer:

Mark glad to see you are back with the Collective. Well you missed a great regional meet in Kentucky last weekend, but don't worry MVV is coming up in August and I hope you will be able to make it.

You were a terror at SSHS5 and a no show at 6. Hope to see you at FFW in Commerce on April 14. What happened to your engine???
