Thanks. You should hear it when I really press the pedal LOL. Its pretty rowdy for what it is. I was surprised. I haven't really pushed it tho due to the bad lifter. Hopefully it will be back together this weekend. I still need the front aligned and the hood painted.

For such a mild setup It does. Flat top pistons, mild hydraulic roller, pump gas etc etc. It even has a junk weiand xcelerator intake on it LOL.

Well its back together and seems to be fine now. I haven't been able to drive it far just yet though. I still need the tires swapped over to the new wheels and the front aligned then I can take it for a nice cruise to see how its gonna act. Hopefully I don't run into anymore big issues.

Thanks! Its a noisy bitch lol! I'm glad I didn't put bullets on it. I didn't expect it to be as loud as it is with some 2 chamber flows.

Oh I'm sure he is lol. I don't do no et's though. I'm still in the process of breaking mine in. Once I get some good oil in it and do some testing I will let you know. I don't have enough for Randy's car on spray. It should run well but not that well...at least I don't think so
