Pretty much what I did. Including the dry hop prior to staging. Just roll it to the forward edge of the water. Stab it! Your making more hp, I still get a decent spin, like i said, puts a little heat in the tires. Didn't bother with it when I had the street tires on the front.

Art, you coming to the Nationals? I'm going up on Thursday. Going to meet Ron Seibenek, he has two of these Achievas. Not racing them at Indy. Like to try and meet some of the other board members, put names with faces.

No. I'm not going to far for to little. Going to try to make a run for the class champion thing next year. Ron and his son are great guys.

Robert say hi to Ron for me if you will haven't seen him in sometime.

Dennis and Art. Will relay greetings to Ron from all on the board. Have passed numerous messages with him from another board. Have talked with him on the phone once. Looking forward to a face to face. Being Nationals time, doubt we'll have much time to talk.

In the meantime. Purchased the Racer IQ app. My wife has a Kindle, was looking at it, decided it might be a good way to track performance. Biggest thing it has told me so far, my reaction time sucks. Until I get the car sorted out, not too concerned with that. Looked at the calculations, it had one for weight to hp. Was dead on for the et and mph the car is currently turning. Basically, the old 120K engine is making about 120hp.

Maybe with one of Ron's headers, a head with a legal stock valve job, some legal cams, a computer chip and if I can find one, a torque converter. I just might be able to sniff the index? That might be enough to make up for the lost hp. Or I'll leave the old engine in piece's, LOL!

Worst thing about this car, it finally reached the initial potential I believed it held. It ran within the times I was looking for on the first weekend. I'm now spending too much time thinking on this thing and working on it. Not getting much (really anything) done to my other cars.
