I plan on the method of LESS timing, and MORE nitrous. from what I've seen with some of the "big boys" that think a 300shot is small, this is the way to go to save pistons from coming apart.
300 small....lol to them maybe..........anyway, inspected pistons today, they are toast!!! rings were stuck in some of the top ring lands and had to be pryed out, so bent rods, bad pistons and rings and most likely machine work will be needed on block and crank...........= I'm screwed.......lol oh well I only paid 600 for the short block 2 years ago

I should have a stock bore block if you need one. it is a roller. if you want to get cheaper I should also have some used forged pistons here also that dont look bad but will need rods or have them resized. or I have a full short block that needs redone. For a fee I would sell you the sort block out of the wifes car if you want to spend some bigger coin also. It should be the last engine you would ever need at that psi + 15 or so added to it. I have a boat load of stuff if you need parts you know that and I aways got that Dart block still on the stand. There is the 331 that is still here also dont know if Mark wants to sell or not but we could always call him. I know you were not looking to spend major $$. Cars you got to love them.

It's a stock block, dished(for wedge head), H-beams, Forged crank, main girdle, windage tray, 8:5:1. I am running 16psi, non intercooled; but with AFM Mr. Freeze meth, 42lb'ers, 255lph inline. AFR is steady 10:5:1 when meth kicks in(rich I know). Car runs good and strong.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!!!

how do you like the AFM meth kit?? you spray it pre blower I assume?? how often do you fill the bottle?? any pics of the install of the kit?? I've been leaning towards the snow performance stage 2 kit with progressive control due to it's accuracy of metering
