    That is a big undertaking and beautifully done, a credit to all involved. Can not wait to see it in real life, well done.

    Its looking promising. We are on the dyno wednesday morning, and if all goes well, we will test on friday evening at hampton downs.
    Its been a balls out effort to get to this stage, so hope we are not hampered in these final stages.

    How do you get photographs uploaded that big, I am normally told to resize smaller even when under the maximum allowable size.

    It would not hook up properly, had 35 % wheelspin, however we were only there to do air fuel ratio.
    So we re jetted carb, to suit new heads. From info we did get though, I believe we should have about the same power as before, hee hee.
