    Supercharged V8, if that counts a little. Im trying to get my car going again as well, the motor isnt even built yet. Ill need some help and advice from the forced induction guys up at BG.

    We plan on having two pro-charged cars there if they both are done. we are working hard right now to get them done. should be cool one is a pump gas piece we hope to make around 900 or just a little over the other one is mine and let us just say I have a lot of work to do we have stepped up a little try to not be laughed at in outlaw drag radial. We will be no where's fast enough but maybe top half.:Do No:. It will be the same **** as always at BG no runs on it when we get there and never get it clean down the track. But we still try going to bring the old charged to settle it down if I have too.

    As usual I'm putting everything together at the last minute. :spank:

    I am a little more focused this time though, anything that doesn't help the car get down the track is on the back burner!

    The engine is sitting in the car and the next thing is to get it running.

    Well, schneider messed up my cam, so now instead of my motor being shipped out today or tomorow im waiting on a cam. If everything else goes good it looks like the day my car is finished is the day it will be put on the trailer and then headed to BG the next morning. Test and tune is going to more difficult than i thought.


    Dont want to miss the Nats 3 years in a row only living a hour and half away!:Dou:

    I'm sure I will. :Brow:
    For the record, it's not going to happen for me before BG.
    (long story) I'll still have the NA combo, and have all the fun I've always
    had with it.

    My next goal is to have one on before the Pinks All-Out event here in June.

    Hopefully someone can get some videos posted up though.

    The engine is going to be dyno'd today. He is going to call me when he gets done then ill post on here or just start a new thread. The motor will be dyno'd on just motor, then the supercharger.
