New custom pistons from Wiseco, Complete one off design to try and combat some of the common failure points. Also feature Hard anodizing and gas porting.







Crank is now balanced and 100% finished at Bryant and is on its way back north to us.


Been busy on customer projects this time of year and haven't had too much time for my own stuff.


Here is one we just finished for a customer, All aluminum warhawk 427 with twin Billet 76mm turbonetics on it. First shake down runs were 8.8s@154 on only 13 psi.








Also been doing a little street playing / testing with the old car whenever we get a chance.

Been tinkering a little bit, got the pinto rack mounted and my dry sump tank also moved the rad over and now I just need to build mounts for that and we can start on the turbo kit.

Also got my new valance/bumper combo and test fit it, we will have some nice big turbo inlets on the bottom side to help break it up.

Making a big push right now to get the car together and hopefully make a few test laps before the Las vegas Street car supernationals race we hope to attend in November.

Thanks once again to my main man Nolan for taking care of all the fab stuff.



New Stainless hot side is about 80% done just need to add the wastegate feed pipes. New cold side is coming along as well, It looks low in the pictures because it IS lol but also nothing sticks down below the K member or below the valance.












Also got a full new front end for the car:

Double A outlaw K member
Control Arms
Front end limiters
Fixed caster camber plates
Pinto steering rack
Strange Double adjustable Struts
Strange front Drag brakes
Aaron P Aluminum Lug nuts.










Got the new outlaw valance all mounted on the car, Just need to do the holes for the down pipes then its off to paint. The whole car needs a bunch of touch ups/ repairs body and paint wise but that will have to wait for now.





As soon as we can get this fab stuff wrapped up the block will come out to start on machining / assembly. Oh and this finally made it up to us as well so I guess I can post some pictures of the strongest crank you could put into an LSX period.
