I emailed Sarge to see if he'd mind snapping a photo or two ( he's become quite a good photographer) I may not hear back for a couple of days; It's Jim and Sharon's wedding anniversary!!!! John

Could be a small problem now that I think about it...Allen's motor is not back together yet, so may be a week or two.

Yeah, that's it  ::)  Last time I saw Allen's set-up, there were a number of "improvements"...the most notable was the electronic fuel injectors being suspended over the tops of the velocity stacks (instead of in the intake manifolds).

Well, I made it by Allen's house last night for a beer or two.  I told him I had to use the can...instead, I slipped out to the garage and snapped a couple of photos....

The Sarge Spy Cam made it by Allen's house over the weekend for a few sneak photos.  The freshly completed mill was dynoed by George Jimenez on Saturday.  I'm not at liberty to comment on HP, but suffice it to say it's a good thing they don't let fuel injected cars compete in the Super Street class!  STAND BACK!!  8) :o ;D

Thought I should report back on the performance form Sacramento.......  the only full pass off the trailer was 10.69 @123mph.  From then on it was shooting for the 10.90 index.  I did do a little tuning after the first pass and picked up .04 in the 1/8 so there is more to come.  ;D The car weighed a little over 1800#'s with me in it.
