With SSHS7 behind me now, and the Mark's new hubs, brakes, rims, and tires being installed in the next two weeks, it is time now to start thinking about fortifying the engine.
The car now has 401rwhp, and 318rwtq, and has run a 12.162 @ 113.42 in the quarter mile. All this on a totally stock engine with 107k miles on it with the help of the Vortech supercharger.
Aric is going to put down on paper, a quote to forge the bottom end, and refresh the heads. He has a bare block at the shop that he will use to build the forged engine from, and then swap over everything when he is done building the motor.
I am not going nuts with this engine at this time. In fact, 400rwhp is plenty already. My intent here is to make sure the engine is way safe for this kind of power and on up to 500rwhp if/when I ever decide to go that far.
