The cars that come out of Stenods shops have certainly been impressive. If I ever decide to have a shop help build me a car, Stenods shop would be at the top of my list.

I don't know what time you left, but the lanes were crazy. I sat in the lanes for that pass from aroud 5:00, and did not run untill 6:30. What realy makes me woulder is a car oiled the lane I was in down 4 cars ahead of me. I was the first car to make a full pass after that, everyone else got lose at some point.

Here's the slip. Everyone was gettin' squirly after that dude oiled the track down.I think we were the only ones to make a full pass after that. Right before we ran, someone took out the timing lights in the middle of the track. Obviously they weren't going to fix it 'cause they were done for the year.

The car made 330rwhp on motor, and 480rwhp on a 200 hit. I realy don't pay much attention to the dyno numbers, just if I made a change how much did it pick up. The are many factors like the converter that can lower the number greatly. The car runs mid 6.20 in the 1/8.

There is the feed lines, and bleed lines. The lines ruturning to the cell are restricted with very small jets. I don't remember what size, but they are small. It was done just to keep air out of the system, the -6 is way bigger than nessesary, most use -4 or even -3.
cant wait to see new vids of it!!

That was a nice run, so what size shot did he end up blowing up the stock short block on.
I'm impressed if it is still running.
Plus I just wanted to get to my 100 post, so I thought I would write something.
