Is it gonna be ready for Bradenton?

Might be top secret, but what did VA speed set up the compression on the motor at?

Excellent build. Isn't it frustrating when you work your tail off to keep it all clean and tight...then by the time it's all plumbed, it looks like Russell's braided line/fitting truck just dumped a truck bed onto your engine bay?!

Final compression is secret...lets just say the motor don't have much of a dish on them



I'm hoping to start testing that week but I won't have my A/ET license by then so no 1/4 mile racing for me in competition...yet...

I'll be doing mostly local races 2x a month all spring/summer so I don't plan on traveling to Atlanta or BG either...


I'm planning on Indy though

Can't wait to see it in action this year.
