Mmmm. Power steering is nice to have, even on the big setups. Definately a wise move on the external oil pump. What're you going to rev it to?

You heard right. In all seriousness though, if it keeps making more horsepower with more revs and more boost, that's exactly what it's going to get. I don't have expectations in terms of what boost it will end up running or what revs but it is built for lots of both so I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I can get the stupid thing going if I sort out this pump issue.

Haha, I see. Not sure if its been mentioned - is it a RB25? Or 25/30? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Rocket Industries. I dealt with Mark Hayes. He certainly knows his stuff. If you need any specifics just let me know.

I'm running a Powerbond balancer. It looks the goods but has caused no end of trouble with the power steering. It should be sorted out today though. Joe from Profab made the crank drive and new crank bolt for me. It looks pretty simple and I know it will work as it's been proven on a couple of other cars Joe's been involved with (like Enzo's VL).
