  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Must be extremely tough to have 2 cars needing those sweet looking motors...Thank God for our friends at TA ....



    Jim,
    will you be be posting the results from the build of the motor you are doing? I am always impressed at the HP and Torque you get out of them. Was really hoping to see a Pro charged motor built from one of these blocks,or even huge HP that can be managed from them. I sit not so anxiously awaiting the results..

    Yup.. check out the buildups, two (actually three but two are the same) of them from the shop here are alreading going in the Tomahawk block buildup forum.

    Will have plenty of pics, video and dyno info, for a NA 555 and a supercharged one.

    I will also be dynoing this one, after Mike builds it.
