Default One week TOO LATE!
Well we tried our asses off to get this thing ready in time for the shootout but it just wasnt meant to be. We got her on the dyno last thursday before the event and found out the core in the intercooler was leaking into the charge tubes. We were pretty bumbed. Anyway, the new intercooler showed up today so we are setting the valves now and should be on the dyno tomorrow. If all goes well, we will be at HRP saturday and sunday for the $10K to win True Ten Five race. Here are some pics of the car.
