Somehow watching a motor only on the dyno make me feel like I'm looking into Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory at a brain without a body.

Bruce...time to change the sig again!

OK. OK. Yes, you can shoot me now.

Just got off the phone with NRE. The SST engine is on the dyno ready to go. Tom is going to do a series of low to medium boost pulls this week to get all of the full throttle, mid curve and pump to race fuel transition maps taken care of for street driving. I will be out there Monday and then we are dumping in some C-16/C-23 and going to turn (I like this phrase) "the boost up into the stratosphere"... Looking forward to that.

Also during this week the whole team is working like crazy on the rest of the SST. The tranny/drivetrain is being coated in the same stuff as the engine. The whole undercarriage is being painted satin black (sorry, the factory olive green primer looked kinda dull) as well as detailing the whole suspension. Many other details are being attended to.

The SST WILL be at C5Fest2.

...and you've probably seen it but this is the race helmet.

Nah, no guns, that's great news! Do you have mirrors to set under thecar, or do I need to bring my own?

I wanna see it ALL!!!!!

Hopefully we do not have to see the undercarriage at C5Fest2 (i.e. Don't want to be working UNDER the SST) No broken parts !!
