Here is the cost breakdown. I pretty much listed everything. Total is about $16,000 into the swap. These snapshots arent the greatest- if you want copies just let me know

Damm nice setup, what the hell happened the 2nd time?

[shmiet]

Thanks man. Hard to say, I sent the block back to Thompson and they didnt have a clue what could cause that much damage. I had my engine guy also have a look and he couldn't give me a definitive answer either. So I'm assuming a bad casting??

[crusher]

lots of hard work and its finally paying off congrats

Nice Set up and great numbers, My set up dam close to yours made 600/656 on 13lbs, glad to see another 5.3 getting er done with the cx turbo

[shmiet]

The CX turbo is essentially a copy of the magnum?

[shmiet]

any track times yet?

Went 12.34s @ 120.10mph

I didn't build a lot of boost at launch. I kept rolling on the brakes. With line lock I could prolly drop to mid 11's
