100% stock bottom end. Neither the head nor the oil pan have ever been removed.

Thanks SparkTech.

After I build the motor I may need one of your fantastic non cdi systems.

Thanks again to everyone else. I'm gonna do my best to not disappoint.

I'm with TTP, "what?"

My drivetrain is in perfect condition after hundreds of launches, but thanks for the advice.

Quick update: I have an appointment set for tuning at TTP on April 6th. As long as all goes well and the motor holds I am scheduling to hit the track April 18th.

Load up the drivline with the e-brake like a staging brake.

Not recomending you do it, that's just what he meant.

That is meant for carbon clutches, not for cerametallic unsprung units.

I understand what he was saying, just not why it was even being brought up. I preload the drivetrain when I stage up. You do not have to use the Ebrake to preload. I have never damaged my drivetrain from launching,

Ryu, you said your heads never been off your block...you dont have aftermarket springs or retainers in your head?!

Or did you do the head-on-block spring/retainer job like the how to here on evom.

Headstuds were installed 1x1 method along with the springs and retainers.
