My dad always used to say that a real man is always loyal to his family, his beer, and his machinist. I was just curious as to who ya'll are currently using. I ask because I've made friends with some of the best machinists/builders in the State and would be happy to refer any of you.

Hey Welcome to the site Procharged! Got any specs/pics on your ride? We'd all LOVE to see some. What part of Florida are you in? Talk to you later!

Hey Scott, thanks for the hospitality - I'm enjoying this forum a lot. :D

The car is currently in paint prison, but the drivetrain is done - finally! These are the current specs on the motor (it's the abridged version, otherwise you'll be reading 18 pages of mods. lol)

383 - Eagle forged rotating assembly 8.5:1
Full hydraulic roller setup
AFR 195 Heads
750 Mighty Demon
Hurricane Intake
Comp hydraulic roller cam .539/.560

And the crowning component, the ATI P1SC with a 2.95" blower pulley/7.8" crank which equals to about 11psi of boost.

Once the car is complete I'll be posting some pics and video so you guys can check it out.

By the way, I'm down in Port St Lucie. Where are you out of?

Port St. Lucie! I'm in Vero Beach. I'm working on my car at my buddy's house in PSL. I'm sending you a PM.

That is too funny. I didn't think anyone lived that close to me. I'm in Vero almost 3 days a week for work. I can't believe I haven't seen you tooling around before - Do you ever go to the car shows on Tuesdays at the Treasure Coast Mall?

Scott - Here are some pics of my engine. I still have to purchase the procharger but you can get a general idea of what it looks like. Enjoy.

Your pics aren't showing up on my computer, so I can't say whether or not I've seen him.

I honestly haven't been to a car show in a while. This time of year is so busy for me at work, that I try to savor every extra moment at home relaxing.
