Wow - you`re still playing around with that T4 stuff.  Wink

I hope you get it done for the 2008 season and that you will take your car with you to SCC - this is for sure a monster I want to see and hear. Good luck with the rest of the work!

Elnef, do you have a Equilizer pulley machined for T4 ? (I bought one for the same purpose.) Plus, what cooling system do You use on this project ? (I'm gonna use a very old/new DTM from Joe Locicero).

Regards,
Harry

I dont mind saying this in public: Building the engine was a task with quite a few obsticles. But John and friends just kept on trying until it was in the bag. And that header is a work of its own. I´m impressed.

I´m looking forward to see what numbers you can get out of it, both on the rolls and on the track.

- For some reason the old ACDC song "THUNDER" comes into mind Roll Eyes

Thumbs up.

If some is good and more is better then too much should be just about right!
