    Mike-

    We were choked up too, that was the culmination of 5 years of hard work!

    The record at Elmo is 130 minimum. We're in the ballpark!

    Thanks TV,

    EJ has the big ones, the rest of us were just along for the ride. Since it did so well we are going to make some improvements and try to squeeze a little more outta her. Maybe even some big girl bearings and a little bit of oil pressure. Great video.

    How did you get the picture backwards? The one with the tech guy? Did you run with the 2300 carb?

    Wow. You caught that the pic was reversed! You have a sharp eye. I made a mistake when I was changing the side iPhone orientation and also mirrored it. Whups!

    We ran the two barrel Holley carb.

    Keven-
     
  13. Congratulations! Absolutely gorgeous, well designed and well built car.

    Great to see you in impound!

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the cudo's. Are you guys gonna be back with your V4-F package? I know we will be there next year, not sure about World of wheels.--TV
     
  15. We trashed our '08-'10 motor on our return run last year. We chassis dyno the new motor tomorrow... hopefully. We didn't have it ready in time for Speedweek - replacement Dodge blocks are a wee bit tougher to find than Fords. We're hoping the Fast Four will be at either World of Speed or World Finals, but we'll see. Lots of radical changes. Tomorrow is judgement day. We'll know a lot more after that.

    Check the website for the dyno video later in the week...

    Again, Congrats!
