The cut off for PRO in the CCE is 9.50 so I told Scott I want to stay above that.
I'm kinda gearing up for high 9's as I hear similar or mabye even slighlty less built motors in much heavier cars running 10.0's everwhere I look. I wasn't far off of being legal for sub 10's when this all started so that was a blessing.
That being said, I really don't know what to think and I'm trying to remain realistic as to not disapoint myself. Kinda hard when every one is telling you "your gonna need a diaper after you let go of the button that first time"

Not me! I got one. 14 point cage. Now, if I can just get it run fast enough to need one. Maybe my new engine will do it. Actually, when I started back racing 2 years ago, after setting out for 13 years, the cage was the first thing that was done. Old roll bars thet were in the car weren't legal for steet, much less S/P.

I would do this : Ebay the crank , rods , pistons , etc....separately. get what you can . stop messing around and call 440 Source and get a 4.15 kit and be DONE . Have Jim or Steve or a machine shop check the kit. Then grind a tiny bit off your oil pickup boss and bores for clearance. DONE. Come on Ted...I know you've been working 60 hours a week........BUST OUT THAT CREDIT CARD !!!
