    Thanks. What cam spec's?

    C'mon, lay it all on us brother.. you're car's attracting the hardcore crowds here. :evilsmile:

    Plus.. race engines need spec's posted early on to help avoid guys like me nickle and diming you to death about future details. :D

    Nice work, indeed. Looks like you're utilizing an anti-reversion chamber on the collector.

    lol.. speak for yourself. My eyes aren't nearly as good as they used to be.. looks like a really solid 20' footer to me. Heck.. maybe even a 15' footer on a cloudy day. :)

    Nice ride, diggin' it, can't wait to see it really gettin' down at the track. :evilsmile:

    Looks like it is better than a 50 footer to me but the important part is what kind of a 60 footer will it be, how long till you get to test it on the track

    I'm guessing you went to Capital since Mason still covered with Snow, almost went myself but no car yet. That is sweet, off to a good start for sure. How did the chassis react?

    Rick , Car worked fairly well. I forgot to turn on vacuum pump and it pushed front crank seal out so that ended my day . ill get that fixed and reset some suspension components and hit it full tilt next weekend...I figured I would've seen your ride there with that killer motor...that thing should be a beast
