Work? Who said work? Money buys the action with these new cars.

Just wait until real Stocker racers spend some serious time with them. Got to be another .020 -.030 in them. I guess you have been slaving away on the new CJ. lol Gracie rolled her CJ off the trailer and popped out some 9.60's. BTW, who helped Gracie and Bill during tear down at Indy? That had to be a serious project.

Gracie and Bill had a crew member helping and some of the other CJ racers pitched in to help them. I also saw one of the CJ racers helping a drag pak car in tear down. Some CJ racers were ready for tear down long before they actually had to go to the barn because they new they would eventually get an invitation.

I saw the car in tear down but wondered how in the world they would be able to do it on their own. Glad they got help.

What's a "real Stocker racer" Bruce? Someone who strokes a keyboard to improve the ol' combo? I don't know about you, but we've been actually trying to improve the CJ. Trying to make it a race car, not a collector car.
Better mousetrap......kinda like a two barrel!

Sean, why in the world would you need to work on making it faster, you have everybody covered by 3 to 5 tenths now. Do you need to cover them by 8 tenths or what, plus somebody asked a question earlier about what type and how many parts you test on your new car before you found the right combo that made it so fast. You don't have to tell everybody sizes or ratios just how many things did you have to do?

What I've done to the car is my business. All I'm going to say is that everything surrounding the engine, including some parts of, are not just Ford.
Draw your own conclustions from that......and I know most of you will.

yea, ford may have had an outside supplier or two. I'm sure it has an ATI balancer, maybe a different pulley, some caster/camber plates, springs, shocks,etc that aren't "ford". the question really is, what have you changed since you received the car from ford?

Sean, no need to be a douche. I didn't ask for specifics, I'm just curious what parts aren't up to par from ford. It was my understanding that aside from trans and a few suspension pieces they were ready to run.
