i accept your apology. still gonna ignore your comment though!

SHM makes a nice billet race 5.0L block ;) and I'm sure Kellogg would hook you up with a very nice, stout racing crank as well... :poke:

you are now on my "To Ignore As Well" list :beer:

Hey Erik, before you destroyed a perfectly good setup :-D, what belt were you running on yours with the 3.200? Was it about 21psi?

you're a funny guy, however u are correct. destroyed is a strong term, i prefer disassembled :lol:

yes, i saw 21 psi solid with the 3.2 upper only. I run 3 100mm and 1 90 mm metco idler pulleys with a 76.5" belt, nice snug perfect fit. Gates K080765

I noticed that you are also selling your LT's.. What is going to be your new setup?? I'm going to assume some BIG primary headers for the High Compression and boost?

I am eyeballing some ARH headers, 1 3/4" with 3 " collector and matching off road X. that outta be sufficient.

I will post it here. Have not created the thread yet, but here is a teaser......John @ MP has pretty much convinced me to going with the stroker Boss block.....322 ci. For $300 more.....my friends have referred to it as a "no brainer".

Getting a quote worked up now, should have it in the next day or 2........

I will not start the other thread until after the wheels are in motion and the plan is firmly set.
