    LOL, man I'll be the flag man! Let me see, I would say Erick giving you 2 cars would be a good race. Or you on the unit, giving him 2. You got a radial, he's on a slick. You got juice, he doesn't....

    Wait a minute! You gotta get past Derrick first! Give Derrick 2. His is a bonafide street car...

    Erick, were do we meet?!?!?! :clap:

    Look at me. Old habits die hard.
    I'm sorry about that, fellow Maverick brothers... :naughty: :burnout:

    Thanks! It's a stock block (early block) 347 with RHS out-of-the-box heads and an Isky flat tappet camshaft with about 250 degrees at .050. I was very happy with the numbers. Also, the engine repeated on motor after we made 656 with no problems. I will possibly have the new Boss 8.2 block soon because I know the block is bound to fail later down the road. I used the Valley Girdle PRO and a main girdle and i feel it should last a while, but we'll see...

    Oh, and it has a Nitrous Supply direct-port system.

    Sounds good to me, and mine is registered and insured, Derrick you up for it?

    We should do something at the Super Street Car Nationals at the end of the year in Vegas for the title of the baddest Maverick on the west coast. Stock suspension, stock firewall, stock frame rails, stock shock towers, ANYTHING GOES! ha ha.

    Wow, thanks for all the compliments guys! The old motor (with different heads) made 551, and went 11.23 with a 1.8ish 60ft.

    And I am using Hedman headers and will have to "massage" the tubes to get spark plug clearance. Not looking forward to that one.
