Still here, work has been insanely busy and have had a couple set backs. Car is loaded up ready to go testing. Work has been soo busy have not had a ton of time to get out. Track rentals have been somewhat scarce the first part of the season. The engine runs fine on methanol and appears to make a ton of steam.

Got the old heap out today and went well. Made 5 shots today and tried to get the tuneup dialed in. Went 1.25 1.22 1.18 1.18 to the 60', 3.25 3.23 3.13 3.15 to the 330. Went a 62 at 159 and a 67 at 155. Still creeping up on the tuneup but I can say its got a ong way to go. I pulled 5% fuel and it picked up 4mph to the 1/8 mile. Still need to put the boost and timing into it and we should be good. Car went straight as an arrow all day long.

Yeah, nothing like a 1.18/3.13 combo on the 2nd hit after the crazy night a few weeks ago.

I think 1.10/2.90 is doable and whatever we can get out the back door. The accel curve looks perfect just needs more on the hit.

2.90 would be really getting it done. Are you planning on racing any classes this year?
