Yesterday I had a good talk with Adam@ST to clear out everything I'll need for my build, 3.4 Whipple GenII, 298 stroker kit and all the goodies that takes to run the car with this kit !

He told me to wait 2 weeks to gather all the parts for my kit, it'll be send to south Texas and i'll have to go and pick everything up (2X 5hr drive) but i'm so excited with this those 2 weeks will feel like 2 months i'm pretty sure haha.

I'm interested maxing out pump gas tune so every support mod that helps will be thrown in, I already have LT's and Ported heads with manley +1mm 24 valves, springs, titanium retainers and custom comp cams (From Marks "Cam Talk") though the heads are sitting in my garage shelf waiting for the action.

I'm very excited with this ! I'm going to faint once I see the big blower in the box lol.

Congrats Mex, you deserve it. I can tell that you've been doing a LOT of research, and it's finally the time for big power!

Any thoughts about beefing up the tranny? What happened about the Auto tranny rebuild CK was talking about?

Good luck, and those 2 weeks will be the longest ever!

Congrats! I was at ST last night when you called. Are you doing the installation yourself?

BTW I went for a ride in my car last night on 17" M&H dr's :-0 I alsmost crapped myself. I think my 20's will be rendered useless

Thanks guys. the instalation will be done here in my town with a friend of mine who build engines all year long, he is good at it.

rshamekh about the tranny, once the engine build and SC instalation is done here, i'll take my car in a trailer to where it will be tuned in South TX and will ship the tranny to Larrystransmisions in Corona CA. I already spoke with them too

Once I get it back I'll have the car tuned.

Why the 298 stroker and not the 302?

I've heard 302 makes problems with the knocking sensors, asked Adam about that and thats why he uses the 298.

I was told by someone at my dealer that you can still do 302 but you have to re-locate the knock sensors. That's why I ask.

I wonder if that's what they did to StrokerStang's 302 stroker (as seen on Horsepower TV)?

I found this out last night when I called Adam........he let the cat out of the bag!
July 11th or so is when Adam swaps my engine for a 298 stroker. Of course, he has to wait for con rods because you took the set in his shop!

I'll call your 5 hour drive, and raise you another 20 hours!!

Trevor, you need to plan some time in Washington on your way back up so we can do some "spirited" driving
