It is not a "dry" sump it is a "scavange" pump. I should be legal.

My wife is pretty good! I have learned when I should give in. As far as Chris and I lining up? The first problem is that we would both have to be running at the same time and that is not too likely. The second problem is that he is shooting for 7's and I will be happy with 8.90. I am far from the big dog's with my 9 second car.

8.90 car.......................ya sure...................and you'd be happy with that...........ya right!!

Mike, the rule has been, at least for the last 3 years, my car and Tom's car never run at the same time. We wouldn't know what to do. If it should happen we will forsure get them lined up.

Yea otherwise the turbo might get confused and the air might not go the right way.

I get the feeling that you might break the 8.90's barrier, Sweet setup man, I hope to see it run in person one day.

No real date set yet. As soon as the headers and stuff get back from the coaters next week I would like to get everything over to W2W so we can see if this thing will make any power or not. I am guessing a month or 2 before it is running in the car though.
