Congrats. I know that it has been a struggle for you, but you stuck to it. On the video it seems like you out for a Sunday ride.

Now change you signature - you deserve it

Maybe it is the angle of the video but it doesn't look to weight transfer at all. Great that you are getting enough traction if that statement is correct.
7 sec is insane! Have you payed attention your user name still says you are a slow 11 sec? HAHA

Congrats again Brian. I know the car has more in it. Sucks you lost all the water and had water in the oil. Hopefully you will be back up and running in no time. Hope to see that thing back up and running soon

Here is my Video of the 7.99 pass.

Lost #5. Pulled the plugs and #5 was full of water. Never blew any smoke or pushed water into overflow. I think I may have took out a cylinder liner...

if it was the liner...then we can't say it really wasn't expected...the factory stuff has held quite a bit of power all season

Kinda what I was thinking when you said you never pushed any water, but got water in your oil. None the less, you have raised the bar with the factory block.

Fireball, do you have travel limiters in the front?

I thought that this was a full blown Virginia Speed block with sleeves, bras, panties and girtles.

BTW, congrats on the 7sec slip!
