Default This long road has finally come to an end... for now

So here is what I have been going broke over for the past year or so. After the past ~2 years on trying to get the car running on my own, I eventually gave up & left it to the hands of someone else. My goal was to get it to the East Coast meet that happened this past weekend.

So with that said, the car would have NEVER made it this far, this quick without the help of Jarrod. Big thanks homie, you know this.

Back in February after coming compression testing the motor and getting bad results, I decided enough is enough & tore into it.



The block went to the machine shop along with the head & then after I left it up to Ramey Built to take care of the rest.

So in the meantime, here's how she sat while the new suspension went on & got a little exterior attention that it needed.



About 2-3 weeks later, the block was assembled, but Abacus suggested I rebuild the head, so that delayed a few days.



So jump ahead about 3 or 4 weeks later, & here is the final outcome, but before I do so.. I want to give a huge thanks to the following people:

Jarrod
Shawn @ Ramey Built
JB @ Ramey Built
x4thgencafe for the pictures
& everyone else that lended a hand along the way.

& before anyone ask, I'm not making any power right now. Hoping to have a tune within the next 2-3 weeks.

Don't let people on here know you are driving a boosted car without a tune, thats like telling black people there is no more chicken at KFC...

That comment was unnecessary, dude.

Anyways, SICK build, man. Can't go wrong with Shawn. What kind of power will you be shooting for when you do get it tuned?

Thanks guys!

I'm hoping for around 250-275 off wastegate & 350-375 on 14-15lbs, but my injectors will max out before that, so I will have to settle for 300whp until I can upgrade some stuff.

A Co-Worker has told me that she went to KFC before and they didn't have any chicken.
