    T61 Bolt on Turbo by Cx Racing

    That was a Hall sync sensor I made from a GE distributor, I ran 3 pegs on the back of the flywheel as ref using another Hall worked surprisingly well.

    Nah even 1500 is going to remove a LOT of material, the steel wool pads with soap in the work well but make sure you wash the shells well with hot soapy water before plastigauging them. You only need to rub very lightly to remove half a thou, better to do it 2, 3 times then too much in one go.

Rings will be 4 thou for every inch of bore diamter top and 5 thou on the second, if it's going to be a 4>500rwhp build I'd add at least another 5...

    I'd shoot for high 1's for that power, 2 won't hurt anything other than a little extra pressure bleedoff. It will leave you with some overhead in case the HP bug bites.
