Default test hits (vids)
Went out Thursday to test. Converter is a POS right now, to much slippage and still falling way to much on the gear change. Its coming out tomorrow.
Still have lots to sort out yet, but moving in the right direction.

Damn 160+ MPH, making some steam there.

I would die happy if my all time bests matched your test hits.

Cool, so you are coming up to Milan Friday night. I was hoping you would.
You have a 1/4 mile set up?

well... I may be leaning toward Nate's race mid August as they run Ultra and a few guys from Cecil are talking about heading out as well... I am kinda up in the air now on Norwalk as that is two trips in two weeks... if we come to Norwalk we will definitely come up Fri. night....

Do you have your ultra "setup" ready to go?? I saw somewhere you were getting a cast intake so you could run ultra.... and a lot of "medium block" talk... lol

Its going to be tight to get the U/S set up done. But it will happen. Tried like hell to get John S. to allow a Sheet metal with no luck.
Milan is 1.5 hours from Norwalk, you should come up its a cool race. If not I will see you at Nate's race.

John,
If that was one of those east coast tracks that would have been a 8.20 pass!
Nice runs especially for Milan (an up hill track).

Nope, motor is to small for that right now.
Just want to do well with what I got right now in the classes I want to run and develop my engine program as I go.
