We've got a couple things working. Shawn is debating about trying a new camshaft along with the other upgrades. It should be interesting once we get all the bugs worked out. Shawn is trying to extract everything out of the motor and I'm working on the car.

unfortunately,due to business/work obligations we will not be there.Due to us being big into the LSX world i will be going to the LSX shootout to support my customers there.Phil's work schedule will not allow him to be there as well.
We will be pretty much just testing for the remainder of the year in preparation of next race season.We have some ideas on some better parts that we want to try.Look out for some huge numbers soon.

Good to hear on the customer support end... and good to hear on the parts testing, someone has to try the new stuff that's out there!

Looking forward to reading the updates!

Thanks,i don't think people realize how much we do support our customers.I know you guys see me go to events with Phil and Brian but we do this for any of our customers that need help.Just last week our tuner Ed was in New Jersey for 5 days helping several of our customers at the dyno and the track.

Good stuff to hear for sure, people don't understand the value of that... especially when you're like me and have no clue

I can't say enough about Shawn and the guys @ VA Speed, they have exceeded every expectation. The motor is going back together hopefully I'll have everything in the next week or 2. I'm excited to test out what we learned @ the ultimate outlaws, I know its going to work just not sure how much the car is going to pickup. Good news is its deadly consistent in the bottom 4.80s with a soft tuneup. I'm just hoping for some 70s maybe squeek a high 60.

I'm with ya, its not as easy as it looks. Seems like every time we get after it **** goes haywire. I wish we had more data off our last pass, should have been interesting...

Easier to manage 1200hp than it is to manage 2000hp.

Sometimes less is more. lol
