the Jeep SRT-8 is in my shop on the dyno today. Its a very sweet ride.

The red 69 Z was in yesterday on the dyno.

we have pretty much set our shop aside this week to help the racers. Im meeting some very nice people, getting to see some incredible rides up close, and learn a lot about different types of vehicles and set ups.

see you guys at the races on saturday!!

You are the man!

Did taner figure out how bad his car is hurt? Hopefully he's back up and running by tech cutoff tomorrow! I feel so bad for him!

the local shops down here are great, Jon Huber sheared the **** out of his distributor gear, finishline let him use their shop for about 6 hours.

Thanks again man... see ya Saturday

his car is in here right now. the clutch was in several pieces and he has an issue with the tranny. parts have been ordered and should be here in the morning. we will be here early to let them in so they can get going.

I would say his odds of being ready are very good as long as they dont run into any other issues.

Dang 300 shot tends to blow stuff up.



Was that trany fluid or clutch fluid from the slave in the last picture of taner's car? Either way , i wouldn't want to see either one before race day.


Good luck getting it back together.

I was told by the guys that the disc shattered his oil filter on the way out, so prally oil that was what was in the picture.

Any update Taners car? I know him, mike, ben, jon, and mario said they were gonna bust *** to make the 1pm tech in? I really hope they got it done. Dammit I should have gone to this with them, curse work.

We just got back from the Pump Gas Drags, we took 2nd place. Our best was 8.56 at 160.56mph. Drag radials, 16psi of boost and 93 octane. Had a great time. Look for Ray Doughty's 70 turbo nova on 1320 video. Thanks Kyle.

Here is a video. That is of course you dont mind seeing the Viper making a 7.9 pass That thing was flying all day long. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/P...n--_161038.htm

Lee Saunders and Heffner Performance shatters a new world record. Documented at the 2008 Hot Rod Pump gas drags Lee drove his Viper on 93 octane pump gas to a 7.9? at 183 mph during an Exhibition run. Congrats to Lee and Jason!
