I like your style. This is going to be a thread I will thoroughly enjoy following!

A Whipple'd GT350R ... does it get any better? :)

Wow. Should be a killer build! I will be following. :thumbsup:

(I'm not being a wise guy or facetious here, but aren't you worried about the stock FPC on this build? I have heard that anything over 9lbs. of boost can be very troublesome for the stock FPC.)

This will definitely be a Killer build! :headbang: With the FPC and a build like this a lot of time and detail will be put into the Balancing and weight matching of the Internal's. For example the Manley Rods and Pistons are all the exact same weight and I will do a slight " Over Balance " to the rotating assembly that will aid in the High RPM Power Potential of this combination.

Doing this will help keep the Natural harmonics/vibrations of the FPC at a desirable level for the power potential of this combination ;)

Awesome. :thumbsup:
I don't want you or the OP to feel I was bashing. I was just questioning. The more you question, the more you learn.
(I have heard from a reputable source from another top tuner that Ford engineers were busting cranks with anything over 9lbs. of boost, which is why I was inquiring.)

Is your bed somewhere out of the picture or do you just sleep in one of the R's? ;);) Great looking garage Jorge and it goes without saying, great looking cars! Looking forward to following your build. :thumbsup:
