Roger that .. major GOOD LUCK .. So who is making the bestest PS fiberglass these days ? Probably nobody, I think everything is carbon fiber these days... I stand corrected ..., CF ..... But when I was making some very select PS body parts way back some moons ago ....my PS hood weighed less than Don Ness’ part .... that was supposedly CF ..... those BIG OEM Camaro and Firebird pieces ....

Hi everyone I wanted to say hello its been awhile. I know most of you have given up on me and the hemi engine but I wanted to give some good news. I have made some unbelievable gains over the past 4 months. I think to put the hemi back on top in prostock. So keep a eye on us in indy i think we will surprise everyone. I cant wait! I have been following you since I met you in Atlanta. Pre-sponser days I believe.. You did give me an ARC engine shirt. Go MOPAR EM!

Looked like the engine laid down last half, MPH way off.
Keep at it.... we're rooting for you.
Joe He said on Facebook that it started to get loose on top end and he pushed in the clutch.

We had a decent showing this weekend I think. The motor was probably hurt in Q2 on Saturday and that's why we slowed up. Jason was just pulling away from me at half track so I pushed the clutch in. The gains that we have found on a Dyno definitely showed up in q1. The oil pressure was low on the dyno before we left and at the track we only had 33 pounds on the chip and 42 pounds at the strip. We just ran out of time to take the motor back of part and find out what the problem was before we had to leave. .I don't think we have any major damage so we should be able to fix it pretty easily. We should be able to get out and test before we race in Topeka to figure out what ratios the new engine combination likes. What I think is going on is that the motor is so much better above 10,000 I don't have to run as much gear in second third and fourth. Which is a good thing because then the mph will probably come up another one to one and a half at the finish line By the time we race again the back up motor should beto.ust as good as the motor we ran on Saturday we're just waiting on some new Parts. We also received a new Hogan's manifold just before we pulled out for Indy that we are excited to see what that's worth on the dyno and also try it when we go testing. I know you always hear how you could have ran faster but I guarantee we could have easily gone 6.66 in q1 and that is very competitive compared to the fastest car. we have turned the corner that I will prove that the Mopar is just as good at the Chevy as we don't invest a quarter of the amount of R&D money that they have. Another exciting part of this whole deal is. The car is actually is going down the race track straight as an arrow and I don't have to drive it all over the racetrack. What is your normal oil pressure?
