I think I remember you saying the engine builder wants to put it on the dyno. Is this still the plan?

I really want you to just switch over to methanol already and run 7's.

It's so tempting, but would cost a ton of money. I imagine injectors alone would be near $4k, then probably another $2k getting it set up with the pump, extra fuel rails, cell, filters, fittings and line.

I could probably get 1500 to 2000 for my current fuel system, but it would be a tough sale. Not too many people need what I got.

I'll get it going on gas and if it seems like it's gonna be decently reliable, I may make the switch next year.

No doubt it would run quicker though. Probably loose another 100 lbs switching over too.

So I heard today that Spikes truck is a 2900lb tube chassis deal. 8.05 is still impressive, but I was thinking this was in a near 4000lb truck.

hmmm.. that makes things a bit different.

ghost rider cutting 1.37s on leafs is pretty impressive also.

Hoping to start on the front end this weekend. I'm not looking forward to the cutting I have planned. Here is a pic of how it sits. I'll post pics as I go.

Somebody really needs to buy these front end pieces I have for sale. I'm tired of tripping over them. Don't make me throw the **** away.
