I need to give a big thanks to the guys at BGR for helping me along this process. To Bob and Curt Jr THANK YOU!!!!! Our long days and nights paid off big tonight. We thrashed for the last 2 weeks and I couldnt have done it without you.

Also thank you to my wife Brianna for the patience while I was working on the car.

I cant wait for Saturday to turn on some win lights.

Very nice AJ. We need some engine build details. Tried to call you a couple of times to order some carb parts but there's no big hurry. I will probably start the year on gas to get a base line with the new engine. See ya soon.

awesome! whats the engine specs?

Wow, what's that car weigh?

Very nice! What kind of upgrades did you guys make?

Gonna need to tighten that light up a bit!

Congrats, AJ...I'm not at all surprised at the results, anything Bob does is always an upgrade.

I guess now you'll continue to smack us all around, use us like an old shoe.....

Congrats aj!!! Sounds like shes running good!!!!!

Well everyone can stop by and pay up on the bet,when the car left the shop AJ asked what would it run and Everyone said 10.60/10.70 and I bet it would got 10.40.
I would like to see it run on the transbrake,shifted at 6800 and trap at 6800 or even see a 4.30 gear in the near future.

Congrats on a nice first outing,AJ!!

Jim that a TF727.

your giving up .07-08 right there!!!!!! 10.3's in your future

What was the air like when you ran? I would have expected a 499 like that would have run a lot more mph than you saw unless you run at really high altitude.

The air was okay, not record setting. I do not have any air gauges to tell you exact specifics. I thought the MPH was good for the shift point, gear, tire that the car has.
