SignUp Now!Would 10k, 12k, 15k be enough?

15k would be a good start... I think Jason White has pushed the 109 to the limits though. He has a very consistent motor/tune. I am not sure the 109 will ever make an 8.30 run let alone survive it as bulletproof

If that kind of money is on the table to build a motor for mid to low 8's, I would think one would use a staged short block as a starting point. More of a safety issue then a dollars and cents issue in my opinion. But if I had to put a dollar figure on a price to build that grenade, it would be around 20k.
So, the questions once again arises--will the 3800 (with pistons, etc.) perform at that level?
