Nice meeting you too Daran. Don't know if I mentioned it but I work for the Fire Dept down here for my real job. I just looked and I'm on duty on the 22nd. Might be able to get off but I'm already trying to get a couple shifts off the next weekend for Jackson, SC. We'll see.

I noticed that Mike.

Well, Looks like I need to get BUSY!! LOL! I was going to go down to C for Jackson, BUT Since the GAUNTLET is Thrown........

Seriously Mike how much did they want to see when you set it. I'm not real excited about teardown and its OBVIOUS this motor has never been apart. PM me if you want.

Kenny,
They will check bore,stroke,deck clearance,piston dish in my case,cc head, gasket thickness,cam lift, look at lifter,runners..... duration,spring pressure?
Jim Woods knows my engine well,probaly has my specs memorized LOL

The best way is take your car apart @ home,have head,intake etc. clean ready to go back together,I always set head,intake,bolts,pushrods rockers etc., all back in place @ home basically put all back together and just start bolts,that way you don't get to track putting back together and find out you left something @ home.
Show up on first day of pro am Friday of Sat. and Sun races,I always call the tech man and see when is good time to be there.
Since yours has'nt been apart this would really be good ideal, in case you have broken bolts or anything else that might need fixed. Measure head diameter of valves,they get bigger after miles,will flatten out 45 and make burr,best description around valve and cause head to measure big.
LT won't be too bad to put back,lot easier than LS,I know guys take heads off LS in the car,but I believe I would just as soon drop engine out bottom, I had to put water plug in pass head of my sons I left out ,I thought I was going to have to drop engine back out to get it in there, finally got it though.

Great advice rt there! Thanks! I was mainly afraid to pull it apart at IRR since I still have the stock exhaust manifolds on it. I just KNOW those will be a B!#$%. Headers to be installed soon. I ran it at Palm Beach last night. Got some decent rear shocks since the converter showed me how bad the 158k old ones were. Night and day! LOL! It actually pulls a baby wheelie and the shorties fell from 1.72 to a new best of 1.68. Now if I can just get it to shift waayyy sooner(next project).

Kenny:
Are you running ODB1 or ODB 2?
Have TunerCat for ODB1 on my Laptop,

Bryan Herter can get you a tune that is damn near perfect.
Who built your 4L60E?

Also installing a YankPT4200 Converter replacing my YankSS3800.
Hope to see a bit of improvement.
