Nice stack of dime welds Flosho! What level of
boost/power are you aiming for? I'm excited to see
it come together, that cast iron block is so under-
appreciated when it comes to making power.

I'll edit the first post tonight with some details.
And just so everyone knows I am not the fabricator.. I only produce the money. But I'm sure the guy working on it will be thrilled with your comments
