From what I heard the new car ran a 9.89@138 mph on its first full pass,and thats on a very rich tune too,,should be good whens its running right... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The engine's fine,especially after the s%&* it's been through from the dyno and its shown no sign of ware at all.It did also run 9.89@138 mph on its first full pass,that was also with an a/f of 10.2 the whole track and alot less timing then it had on the dyno.Im taking it to Calder this Friday and hopefully it goes alot faster than the 9.89..
