Well I'm betting it is your 124" kit with the TTS 250 cam. Probably reworked SE heads. Might be running north of 11.5:1 compression. A 62 mm HPI throttle body, could be a 64 mm SE. I have no idea on the exhaust. Whatever, the potential of this platform is starting to be realized.

Cam testing in January? I should have the 117" together by then.
