Even with the extra weight the car will go 9:30 what would you do can you give me some advice.?


would you stay a naturally E car or would you try to make it a national D car truly would like to know the way you feel.

I like working on them and making them faster maybe I should just go back to an NMCA.

13 NA. I'll probably need parts, no doubt. We have another motor we can make a 14

I have a massive amount of parts that we used for R&D work especially camshafts.

But I just saw online that the boys from Michigan got the CNC ported head legal for the 14 now they just posted it yesterday so I guess you don't need to different engine combinations now.

I also got an email from NHRA on a piston fitment issue..

Call me anytime some parts I can give you some parts you could get cheap

Thanks guys for trying to stand up for me, as most know I don't post on the internet until issues like this. Jim, I know how many passes I have made with the 13 and 14 combo, and no one has potentially made more passes in NHRA competition than I have with this combo(not bragging, just stating the truth). Do you want to discuss who has gotten the 13 and 14 combo over 40hp since they were built? You will not win that conversation...Not ONE of your customers have ever helped keep the average down.. Yes, Jim, my car may be slow, as you say, but I cannot afford to be caught cheating....so if legal is slow, then so be it. My engine builder is aware that I race with integrity and he would never put me in a situation that was borderline or not legal...Neither would my transmission guy or converter company. I have never once told you "they" were gonna tear you down at Indy this year. Regardless of what you post on here, anybody that knows me will contact me and get the truth. Look forward to seeing you in person.....so you can explain the recent changes in the classification guide, and how to keep bolting weight into my car...
