I hope to be there too! But my hoopty is still only half built. :/
Ya, the transmission for my POS is on the garage floor! Send a PM/Conversation here at FABO if you make it. I'll buy you a beer

Needs more manifold
Nah, guys have made WAY more than I plan to make with stock junk. No need to spend unnecessary money. Don't get me wrong, I'd love the bling factor, but the gains are minimal on a lower powered combo like this. I only have a gen 3 motor, and those are the weaker ones. Maybe someday I'll upgrade to an aluminum gen 4 setup and shoot for 1000+rwhp.
Forgot to add, this is what it looked like in my daily driver setup:

And when it's time to get serious:

And a little of the work it did (from a 20 roll, haha)

Here's a little low quality vid of me goofing around on like 4-5psi.
This is what is considered a 5.3L generation 3 SBC or "LS" motor from a Suburban. Considering the aftermarket support and the proven power capacity of this platform, I couldn't say no. 600rwhp is a cakewalk. Once I upgrade the pistons and rods to the stock gen 4 stuff, it can support 1000+rwhp with stock everything except valvetrain.What is the engine you are using now?

Thanks man! I'm kinda shocked at how few negative comments have been made. It's straight up hate on any Facebook Mopar page.Cool build man. LS or not, it's Hot Rodding!
