Jim, your running a standalone right ? you said you were never able to tune, but now you have the ability to.... im assuming that means you had a standlone put in? A standalone would let you tune to run meth also, right ?

I plan on being at the track the next time Jim goes. For one I would just like to see the car on the track again. Also would like to see the car pull the wheels up. I will be taking pic's and I'm working on getting a video cam. from a friend. This way if he beats his time again there will be footage of it. I'll see if Jim will allow getting pic's of the car sitting and give a view of some

You've got my attention! I'd love to see an SC pull over 500 whp w/o nitrous! Jim you must have one hell of a powerful little 3.8L I bet you turn a lot of heads at the track when they find out it's just a little six cylinder.

changing runner angles i should have bought this car when it was for sale imagine the look on my face and sratching my head when i would have to tear it down to see whats inside i would have ~~~~ my pants for sure there would have been a whole slue of new mods to talk about . i think this engine is the sum of many off the wall mods we cant even comprehend

soooooo.............where is the video to 10.659 run???? I mean seeing is beliving,at least in my opinion? Im not doubting you,but something of that nature is unheard of.

You know what I just realized. You have the quickest SC, not the fastest. Neibert still has you by about 5 mph, no? You are technically still 3rd on the fastest.

That's an older Pro-Mod setup, but sweet. Look great. I built a turbo Pro-Mod motor, but my race car only has a cage spec'd at 6.50's. So I can run it yet. I've posted the picture of the motor a couple times, so you may have seen it. Makes 2950HP and is a Pontiac motor. No, not Pontiac-BBC stuff, actual Pontiac's. That wheelbase is too short. You really do have a handful there! The

when does this track open in the spring? There are 2 Air Force Bases near Sacremento so I might be able to come out one weekend and watch you run the bullet. Beale AFB and Travis AFB are out there, not sure which one is closest to the track though. If you get in the 9's I will try my best to come witness it run next time out so I can verify that yes I saw this car in person and it did run
