The little Ford in 1998 (with less cubic inches, less tire, and conventional headers) ran several tenths quicker vs George's combination today (using a belt driven supercharger with the same mass flow as George's engine). PERIOD.

George, read thru the threads once in a while before you post. I realize that it is hard when Jeff, Brian, Jack, Mike, and others are actually trying to help you at the end of the day.
Good luck with your deal Brian. Tom V.

Distribution of fuel should be a lot better with the Marcella Intake Mods and the conversion to Fuel Injection vs the Blow-thru Carb set-up.
Charge air temps in the intake manifold should be +50% lower with the addition of the Water to Air Inter-cooler system. Lots of good mods for this years racing effort. Tom V.

Looks like it's coming along nicely. How do you perfectly align the stub shaft on the bearing support? I'm assuming the mounts have a slight amount of play in them?
