We will see how the new 6-71 and hat works tonight. Best before was 6.97. Don't know how the track is going to hold.

well, how did it do? you guys running any nitro or just alcohol?
what temp are you leaving at? we had to pull the shutoff part way and drive to the staging lanes just to get some heat in the engine. even when its 100° outside. not even going to bother with a full radiator on the next motor. just a little cooler.
got any other pics of the car? _________________

Cool. I sat in a 32 with a small block blown combination and it was so small inside. That thing must be wicked to drive. Breaking 200? _________________ 2001 Focus 2.0 Zetec

Ahh the fun of new shyt...
The burst panel let go at 3000 on the warm up. This new deal wants way more fuel. Cut #8 plug wire on the way... Got it back together with a WAY richer set up and got shut down at the starting line because the belt was eating itself............... I guess part of the shrapnel went through. |

I have been gone for a while, and it looks like your deal got a lot more serious. That's a really large air sucker on top of that engine.
Looks intimidating. |
