2010 Detroit Autorama

I think I've been to every show for the past 9-10 years, and of all those shows, I believe this year was better than any other. The quality of cars were top notch, as was the variety. There is definately something for everyone at the show.

Here are just a few cars below. Follow the link at the bottom to see the full 400+ pictures I took, a new personal Autorama record for me.

Engine is at the Shop

This last Friday I dropped off my engine at Tico Race Engines. We went over my plan, most of which I had already bought parts for. All that is left are the pistons, machine work, and a few odds and ends. I chose to hold off on the heads for a few months and instead get the shortblock ready to go. This way, if any unforeseen problems arise, I can knock them out before investing some serious coinage in the heads.

Tim at Tico said I should be right on par for between 650-700 hp, and will be plenty stout for an additional shot of up to 250 hp on the laughing gas. I ended up sticking with the same compression I had prior, a pump gas safe 10.5-1. Upon getting the engine done, it really comes down to putting the car together. I've had most of the parts since I originally built the car. I'm guessing the car will see the road around July or so. Let's home these plans pan out better than past years.

Just a reminder, the Detroit Autorama is this weekend. I'll be attending all day Friday, to take pictures and get to know the show, then return Saturday for a more relaxing day at the show with the family.
