so at 11-12 psi it was makin about the same power as the cobra, on 10 psi it would prob be in the 680 ball park which would be about right. either way they are both fast cars.

None of the cars have been tested yet. The TA went to a lights out event (The Midnight drags) and all he got was MPH. They said he couldn't run any more until he got a cage. He busted the 130 plus barrier.

That's awesome! Not unexpected, but 130+ is no freakin joke. Can't wait to see you make some runs against them.

good, the motor is together just waiting to order a few more parts, and get my carb back from the builder. I'd say a few more months, july or so. I'd say june, but it'll end up July. I've learned to add about 3 grand to any budget and 3 months to any deadline!!!!!
