Well, it will win a trophy for looks. I now have to wait until spring to see if it will win a race. I was able to touch the pedal on the way back to the trailer...this thing is a complete MONSTER.

So...
Unfortunately, one of the CNC heads I used on this engine had a flaw in the casting. A puddle of coolant was forming in one of the plug bores under no pressure. Thankfully it was on the outside of the plug threads and noticeable. A cm down the plug threads and I may not have discovered the issue.
Texas Speed & Performance was great in resolving the issue. Replacing the head, gasket, and bolts(TQ to yield).
A few weeks ago I posted a small build thread on GRM's web forum. Ed Higginbotham(now one of my favorite people)noticed and decided to feature it, very cool.
