Here is a pic of the race bugs engine. Long block mock up (no internals) for header building.

Goal for the race bug, at the beginning, is consistent low 11's high 10's. Running a complete season without issue. I am way over building this one to last at those loads and speeds. My old engine ran low 12's for years and handled freeway drives. It would run in the 11's, but the stress began to show its weaknesses. I want to go racing and have fun, not break stuff.

Cam is one of Aj’s LBC cams, the lbc4. I haven’t attempted getting the harness out yet haha. Have you torn that Mallory box down yet?

Haha- yeah. Better off just not using it. I’ve been running without it (hell, I went back to points to) with no problems.
