That makes 2 of us. I am excited about the car being done soo early. I might be done before the track opens instead of closes like last year.

I have said it before and will say it again, your sticktoitness impresses me more than the build does. And I am very impressed with what you have put together.

Got the motor fired today and warmed up without any issues. Need to scale and do a couple house keeping things and we will be good to go. It feels good to have the combo running this early.

Car is just about done, fired it up a couple times, went through a couple warmups, set the valves, stages like butter, just got to finish it up on the scales and we're ready to go. I'll throw up some pics soon.

That is bad *** Phil. You know what would be really sick.

You say it comes up and stages like butter. Maybe a small video?

I can walk it up to 3200rpms with about 50% TPS, boost will come on line, mashing the gas will make 3800 and 6psi in 2 seconds without even breaking a sweat New fuel, slightly higher compression and a new set of rings seem to do the trick. Videos are tough because of how bad the fumes are in the garage.

Thats bad *** Phil. Im truly excited for you man. I remember watching videos of the first motor you had built, the LSX, to see it evolve like this a few years later is crazy.

I really hope it all works out for you this season and you do work all season.

Any thoughts of the Pro class they are talking about over on Bullet?
