Very cool Jay... I guess I have to get mine going again..

BTW - a new cam sensor fixed the problem we talked about. Its the 5th one in that car!!! And there is a single 5V supply to both the sensors (crank/cam). Thanks for the info on changing it!!

Wow,
After all that abuse and neglect over the years, that ole stroker just continues to go faster!! Makes you wonder why we throw money at small-blocks!!!

A weekend with your Dad at the track is pretty hard to top.

After what I've seen you do with stock blocks, cranks, and LY rods I have little to worry about Billy! Thanks for the beta testing info!

....now if I can only get those little tires to hook on a hot track! That's one hurdle I seem to have issues with. I really need to have the car scaled...but I'm sure with the goofy torsion bar set up that the front weight is scary.

It was great attending the event with my dad...but would have been better with the Duster and him driving. With the other heads and the track conditions it probably would have gone 9.4's. BTW I think we've given up on the combo. Going to get out of the W5 power arena and go back to the low 11 360.

Jay,

Love the picture.I followed you all weekend on BangShift. The live video streams are cool. Car was running quick as ever. Your Dad is going to tame the Duster back down? I know where he's coming from. It's awful nice to just be able to passes on the car. One of these days I'll start working on mine again. later matt

Jay: You'll have to admit that 360 was a strong runner and made him few bucks here and there.

It was great seeing you guys and the car certainly ran hard. I have video of your 1st round win. I'm traveling for the next 3 weeks so I'll throw it on YouTube when I get home. I think I mahve video'd Ron and Dale's 1st round runs as well - can't remember if I got them or not. We'll know in a month.
