I have been emailing with that guy for 2 weeks. Car is decent, but not great. I also think it is overpriced for a stock block LS1 being tuned through the stock computer. Not to mention that the class it was built for is 1/2 second faster than that car. It would have been a decent grudge car if he hadn't posted it on every website with the time.

It wasn't the first pass but I believe it might have been the first trip to the track with the new setup.
The last two passes on the car both resulted in busted oil pans.
They are shooting 300 on it. With that 60', and a stock block, it probably isn't going to go much faster. Of course I have been wrong before.

I assume the rx7 has an LS swap? I didnt think rotary's had heads....

None of those items are a block.

I was thinking the same thing, I just assumed it was somehow different lingo for the domestic crowd. Where we come from that is a built block lol

Yeah, the block including the crank, rods and pistons would be the shortblock.

So can you buy an aftermarket block itself? Not being a smartass, I just don't know this domestic stuff lol
