damm sound good.. that truck i would like to see what times it put down. has it been driven already? thanks for the reply[/QUOTE]

It has gone 11.2 with the stock trans/conv/ECU and a hyd 427... High 9's would be nice with the new combo.

Tom, are you going to to be able to compete in the shootout with running Methanol? Or did you switch back to gasoline for the shootout?

Tom I want to commend you on your knowledge. Your a very smart man and I imagine you will have it lined out soon. Keep digging.

Matt was a detailing fool yesterday!

Kurt,

I did not weigh the car yet but the block and heads are both solid so there wil be some trade offs. I am hoping for about -50lbs total delta from the last combo.

Man I cannot wait to see that thing on the live feed.

I wish I could make it, shooting for the Oct. race.

I'm curious as well as JL what the goals are?

I would think anything 4.50 or below would be stellar!

Thank you, it has definitely been a labor of love! As far as my goals go, I am happy to be competitive and go rounds... 6 sec at a time!

Last minute update before hitting the track this week.

No more Diaper for me...







Stenod and Gluski made this sweet oil containment pan. Hopefully I do not need it; right away anyhow!

Slick! I see pans like that under VW engines because they have about 15 areas they leak from.

When and where is it running? Sunday (May 6) morning at 131 there is a test n tune before the VW event we are running at. Its usually 5-20 cars at most hot lapping. Check it out if you need some more seat time! Any vehicle can test before the 1pm bracket racing. Call and see if they can put down serious prep for you.
