A little clip from today. Shut it down early as she really started to wake up due to tire spin..

We do the pulls in third gear due to the wheel speed... 174 in third gear...

So, gear oil in the center section is changed, new tires are mounted and road force balanced... Thanks to Glen Smith and co at Black Jack Speedshop..

Parachute is mounted and the release cable is in place.

The new window net is installed...

Spare stuff for my car and Chris's car are boxed and ready... Bout all we have to do is finish the headlight covers, remove the mirrors, load about ten tons of shite and head south...

Corey and I were going over lists, and started laughing... We are usually still on the Dyno in a mad thrash about right now as I'm typing this... We feel like we are forgetting something but have gone over it 20 times... And there are three cars from the shop running this time... Chris, Sam ( Happypappy here on the boards) and Me..

Oh... My car is featured on LSXTV... Nice article...

Robert,
This "thing" is off the chart, out-of-bounds, and just plain "sick"....

Nicely done my friend...

Sorry for not reading all through this, but interested in your head/valve train setup. That is my next big hurdle. Thinking of going solid roller later this year, and can't decide what to do. I want to spin 8k so I can hit 195ish 1/2 mile.
