damn we were trying so hard to make that event. went down south 2 weeks ago to build the motor & when we inspected the motor we found to much damage the the housings & had no choice to call it off. but its 4 the better, now we are going peripheral port & should get close to 1000whp scary thought


cars look nicehttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:honda-tech.com/get//images/icons/icon3.gif

Thanks, I did everything myself from chassis up and stopped keeping track of money spent a long time ago.. I have seen them go for as much as $10,000 completed.

See you guys there

I was having traction issues in 2nd/3rd gear so I didn't get any good passes in either lol @ video comments.

You guys should come down to the events in Lakeland 1/8mile events REALLY good pay outs and it's bracket . Alot of VW's are usually there even Fisher Buggie's car is out there.
