just makin jokes welcome jeremy hope to see you running at some of the events this year

Thanks for the welcome. Unfortunately I won't have the car ready to run this year. When I wrote the intro, I was beginning the building permit process to build a good sized pole building workshop. I had filled up my 2 car garage with new projects in anticipation of a big building to put all the stuff in. Ran into a zoning issue and rezoning didn't get approved until a month ago. In the meantime I've had no space to work on the 1g. Right now I'm just hoping for another Menards 11% off everything sale before snow fall so I can buy the building materials.

Jermy how did you know the block was stock?

I bought a $20 endoscope off eBay and put it in the spark plug hole. I saw 63DT on the piston. I haven't looked at the lower end so I suppose there could be some eagle rods in there, but my plan is to put in a twin scroll hx35 setup and learn to tune it myself so it wouldn't matter anyway - the motor needs to be disassembled.

if you are going to tune it yourself i think you would have good luck with ecmlink. yes it will not be cheap at first but you can pretty much do anything with it. why do you need to tear motor down? just because of stock internals? with a 16g you can still make very good power with a stock block.
