Well went over to Radical Racing the other night and we finally put the Motor in the car. Here's a few more pics of the motor before we dropped it in. Still a ton of little things to do to the car before we dyno.

What plug you planning on running with the 300? I'm starting with a 3910 then adjusting from there.

I'm surprised you decided to wrap the headers. Most people say to not wrap them because it just creates corrosion but, I know there are a couple good advantages to doing it. Lowers the engine compartment temps and increases scavenging effect (a bit more low end grunt).

I plan on using an NGK R5671A-9 plug for the nitrous. I'll change them out and just run champions N/A

They aren't very likely to ever get wet so in my mind the benefits outweigh the down side. If it was a street car I'd be more concerned with corrosion.

Oh OK yeah a 9 should be fine with good fuel! What will you be running in the tank?

I'll most likely run C16 when I spray. I only have a 10 gallon fuel cell so it shouldn't be to hard to drain and switch between race fuel for the nitrous and regular 93 for running N/A. But honestly I'll follow the advice of the guy that's setting up the nitrous for me.
