Well I got one more piece to the puzzle in the today. The camshaft. It started life as a 60mm core and was turned into what you see by LSM Systems Engineering. This thing is stout. I had a few reasons for going with the larger 60mm core. One being a little stronger resisting flex and the other reason is you can do a lot with the lobe profile and ramps that all help out with the upper parts in the valvetrain. Here are some pictures I took.

This cam will be used for a little test we are going to try. I will have 1 or 2 more done to see what works out best. My plan is to check it and break it in on this one and then try the others. It is a easy and cheap way to see what it likes best.

I'm just working on getting it all done now. My next step will be to get the motor over to DMC Racing and get the whole turbo set-up built. That hopefully will be in the next few weeks.
As far as tune-up. I will be working with Don Bailey. He is well know in the turbo world. He does Dave Hance's Drag Radial Car ( has been 6.78 @ 223 ) and Spiro Pappas's 10.5 car and many others. So I have great people on my side to help get it up to speed.
I hope to have some updates in the next 2 weeks. I'm just busy with racing right now. Thanks Ed

Sorry guys for the delay on updates. It has just been tough with the last few races.
However the motor is being built this next week and I hope to have the intake next week sometime. The picture stuff has taken longer for the reason of a magazine article that will be written about the motor build. When we get that stuff final I will post some pictures of it all.
I do hope to have a few pictures of the car up very soon. I plan on going to see it in the next few weeks. Thanks for looking and following it. Ed

Well some engine stuff was shipped to me on Wed and I'm just getting a few minutes to post pictures. This is the 7 stage dry sump set up from Dailey Engineering with their billet pan.
This thing is so sweet. It uses a 30% smaller pump that will take off a few pounds from the normal size stuff and the pump also get's bolted right to the pan so no mess with oil lines. It has 4 stages that draw oil from slots in the bottom of the low profile pan. I have 1 stage for a scavage pump on the turbo and 1 extra stage as a vacuum pump fir the top end of the motor.
Take a look
I also got in my Front whels and tires. They are Mickey Thompson Pro 5 Billet wheels. I got spindle mount fronts to save some weight. I'm trying to build this car as light as I can so every little bit will add up in the end. I have spoke to a lot Pro Stock Car guys and they love the Mickey Pro 5 Wheels for the reason of they spin so true and they also look great.
