It will be ready, I know you have talked to the guys at the shop and that was the day you set. My plan is to be at BG to support you and the car in the race.
Thanks

ARE has made much progress in the last couple days.This has been verified by pics they E-mailed to me.I have spoken with Nick more in the last couple days than the previous 2 years.Car should be hitting the dyno by early next week.I think my deadline will be met baring any unforseen problems.

Excellent news to hear, I was down there on Wednesday and she was up the hoist 
When it's ready to fire, I just might have to drop by with my video camera and watch them run it on the rollers

It's good to hear that you got your car back finally. 
I'm sure it's in good hands at WtW right now. 
Best of luck, and post up some times (and videos!) when you get that thing to the track!

Didn't Wade run the same gears (3.89:1) in the 8.54-second Camaro that he built? The car had a 9-in. Moser rear end and a TH350, not all that different from your setup. Plus he ran a 400-shot in that pass--not what I'd call a small hit.

I think you will find that the 3.40 gear will wheelstand harder than the 3.89

I talked with Nick this afternoon and a resolution was worked out.I'll wait on a call from him tomorrow afternoon before deciding what to do.Nick did say he would build me a iron block and have it done in 2-3 weeks.He said if he could get custom pistons any faster he would have it done in a couple days.
Thanks for the tip Madman,another knowledgable person told me the same thing this afternoon.

I ran a 3.40 when I was spraying and I could not keep the front end down. I could never even spray more than 50% with my progressive controller and I was still all over the place. I now have a 3.89 to try and settle the front end down.
Good Luck!
