Thanks for that,,,Ran 12sec 121mph ,on a couple of shake down passes .Should run 9s with some tuning.Problem is a crew on a A fuel car in England and that takes me across europe,, and sucks my time .So the car has become a piece of garage art.... Engine is 440 block stroked to 493...Indy sr650 heads with max wedge stage 2 port job by Indy...Roller cam and the usual line of suspects to get it down the track...
