Rob,

While everyone is shooting at the Pearl..... I just pulled my engine off the dyno today and stuck it back in the boat this afternoon. A cam change and working with some header and collector design, I now have a higher average power that is really smooth.

I need you to bring Pearl out and pace me to see how I am running. I think I can take you:) :stir:

underdog

Good to hear Gearhead, Weve gained about 60hp lost 50lbs in the boat and stepped up to the Msd powergrid. even though were the underdog here at 500ci to your 565ci you should have 130hp on us if your making 2hp per cubic inch but Hell yeah we'll take on the beast from H-town !!!! :|err

Rob,

Sounds like y'all are having a good off season. 60 is a great gain. I did not get that much more with just a cam and headers:) Now your going to make me put a small battery in mine. Will you run the boat in SDBA any this year?

Someday when I get this deal dialed in, maybe I will venture out West. With the NHRA changing the Alcohol class schedules to "Regional" from Divisional, we will probably run more National events and less other races with the car, which looks like it may give me more opportunities to run the boat.

I passed around Austin earlier in the week coming home from SA. I need to plan on calling and maybe stopping for a meal on the trip sometime.


Later,
Gear
