I'm just going to start putting everything into one huge cluster-cuss of a thread. (And because Syco GT completely hijacked my last attempt - which he is welcome to do again with more revealing material).
John at Accufab has the motor. He is doing his usual badass motor build job. I asked him to send pictures when he gets to that phase and I will post them here. For his part, the motor will be:
J&E Pistons 10:1
Competition cams (Non-Floaty camshaft)
Competition valve job
CnC heads and lower intake
Billet Crank/Keyway/Balancer
Cooper head gasket
Assorted array of upgraded motor goodies
Maybe you guys have seen the fuel system thread. That was basically a prep-stage for this

The heat shields, which made a huge difference in the engine bay temps (-120 -150)

They were required to contain the awesomeness of the headers.
The GT Guys new air intake system will be utilized (rated for a 1000hp and it will be maxed on this application)
My boy Fish will be working his MoTec Magic with an M800 and an ignition system by M&W. This will give me solid spark at higher RPMs and TRACTION CONTROL (praise God). I also let Fish talk me into a Carbon/Titanium clutch $$$ but is weight at least 30lbs less than the Stillen (no idea about stock). 30lbs!! That's huge rotating mass numbers. We are also going to add some phenolic spacers between the intake and head. Combined with rerouting the engine coolant out of the intake manifold, it should have a pretty good affect on intake temps.
