Default Checking on Thunder's 346ci Solid Roller...

How is that mid 10 sec car holding up on motor..? I was expecting to hear some more good news on dyno #'s and times.. Basically I want to know if the car is still running? Futral Motorsports seem to be the only shop that can keep their solid rollers on the road..

Hey, if Jason was willing to go with a "tried and true" setup like most people, I'm sure he would be upset... But if you want to run with the BIG dogs, you have to be willing to go out to the edge. We put that engine together knowing that the cam profile was EXPERIMENTAL... Some of the valve train technology that went into that motor came directly from Pro Stock.

When you race, sometimes you break things...

I can assure you, when Jason's solid roller is back in action, you will see what a 9sec 349 M6 is all about... All we need is a little "JUICE"...
