Looking good Mike , can't wait to see it fly down the track , do you have your NHRA Comp license ? Take it easy until you get used to that power , going from 9's to 7's is a big jump . Be careful and have a great year of racing , see you soon . Let me know when Cartek gets it on the dyno , I want to watch .
