chpspecial Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sorry to hear this man, but it only means that you are going to get faster. Are you still going to the track on sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 that sucks. i was really hoping to see your truck in person up here in february. im sure you'll come back bigger and stronger than ever. new lsx block? still blown/spray? 4L-80e? maybe 1000 crank h.p.? that would be sweet!

04CHASE Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sorry to hear this man, but it only means that you are going to get faster. Are you still going to the track on sat. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i doubt it right now, plans are going to be eagle stock stroke forged crank, forged i beam rods and i havent deceided on pistons yet. im just going to build a strong 370 to handl ea good shot of juice and big boost. compression will be around 9.5 to 1. I am hoping to pull out the motor this weekend and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT13 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 wow! that really sucks. but on the bright side, the next one's gonna be stronger, faster, and since you're building it from the ground up, the motor you want. good luck!!

CrewCabClone Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 damn well time to get faster and stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jond983 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Man that sucks, bigtime. Still very impressive to produce the power you had on a stock short block in a heavy truck. The next one will be stronger. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montanass Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 yeah it sucks but im trying not be angry and look at the bright side. i did order my crank today . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I could understand you wanting to be angry but don't. I would be more disappointed than mad. You knew you would have to do something different with the motor eventually... I say, now is better than later, its gotta be hard with money being tight, but it'll all work out. If anything, you could start a "Help Chase catch 10's fund raiser" on the site and bring in a few bucks from the local SSer's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
