Have pistons and new cam in, waiting on my rods which should be here tomorrow. I'll get it to the machine shop for balance and should assemble next weekend.

Are you going N/A on it or are you keeping the turbo?

Thats alot of compression.......I would have really liked to see you get the turbo going, but It has gone to a good home i guess. Maybe it will cure that slowest 408 powered truck problem he has been having.

It will definately solve his problems. I think the thing that really chapped my *** about my turbo wasn't the turbo at all...It was 2 bad wideband systems in a row. $500 in WB's and they still didn't work right. Made tuning just a major PITA and I really didn't have the time tune it properly. Just 10 mins here and there. All my multitude of other issues occupied my time which I should have been able to tune it and just got sick of it. I am a happier person today....unless the head gaskets don't hold.
I guess you could say that the head gaskets was the straw that broke the camels back. Well, time to go ship out Chris's turbo system.
