Got my Mark Sullens E85 carb bolted on, changed plugs and put the good heat sink coil packs on. Car sounds pretty good.was gonna mill heads some more, but wanted to see what changes the carb made first. Also ordered up some new Team Z stock location springs that are suppose to be great. Got new plug wires coming as well. This thing should be in the easy teens unless I still have carb to hood clearance issues. i may have to go to a taller hood or????

Not this weekend Doug. I will need to run consistent 11.00s to win my class again.

Hope so. I'm not looking forward to what I'll lose on motor but I'm anxious to see what I gain with more spray and the added street driving efficiency.

Unfortunately, I broke the rear in last round of qualifying, but we all still had a really great time at the event.

Here are some pics:

Not yet. I haven't removed the rear cover yet. I am guessing spider gears, but we will see.

Street driving with a spool isn't that bad really.
