Which one is out of your league? The 540, the 565, or the 408?

We like our cubic inches around here. There may not be a replacement for displacement, but moving from 1ATM of barometer to 2ATM or 3ATM of barometer will sure get you close! The 540 makes 30 pounds of boost super easy, I'm setting mine up to max out the 18psi SRT4 MAP sensor. The 565 never saw boost, but we ran 10% nitromethane in it as well as a 500 shot of giggle gas.

Nothing wakes up a motor like forced induction.

Got the lifters back from Bullet today for the truck. Hopefully that project can get refinished soon.

Took the dragster out on Saturday. It went too fast the first run (1000 ft planned shutoff), so I slowed it down a little and it was still too fast.

We have a race in 2 weeks in Belle Rose, Louisiana (Baton Rouge) and we have to slow this thing down to 6.12-6.15 in the 1/4 by the time we get there...
