Thanks for the great posts from everyone.

I went back to the shop this morning. I was surprised to find the boys working on the car. They had the intake, supercharger, and most everything else back on and hooked up.

I finished the fuel sys assembly, changed the main pill to be more in line with the weather, and we fired her up.

If how they sound on the stands count, we could have just won the US Nationals! :wink: It really sounds great, or maybe I just missed hearing it. It is wetting the pipes a little at idle, and cleans them up when I load it against the brake. It trys to rip itself off the pro-jacks on a throttle crack. :shock:

No leaks, no drips, no errors. Will will put the tin and body back on then be ready to roll into the World Fuel Altered Nationals!!! 8)

Thanks WC,

It is kind of weird. You just can't go for the throat like we always could before. We now have the car to completely over power a track. It has enough Nitro in it that it becomes part of the equation. The tire pressure, launch RPM, front weight bar, fuel system, timing, heat in the engine, then throw in track temp and conditions and weather conditions. It becomes a big game of give it enough, but not too much! :shock:
