Little upgrade for my 2332. Two nice ARPM heads instead of two wedge ported, and this time I bought Wiseco Pistons!!!!! I don't know why, but I hate the AA Pistons

Ciao

After years and years of starting on my car and engine 1 month before a show, and never being ready in time, things look very promising. It's december and I'm allready getting my stuff together!

6 more months till ebi2! That's enough time to build it, run it, break it, and rebuild it! Right!?
