I'm just giving you a bad time. I've also known John Spina for quite a while. His car is very nice. In fact I built mine as a NON Turbo specifically to not copy John's. My intention was to build a "contender" for Run & Gun that was a normally aspirated V6.

In the drag racing part it isn't the fastest car there but its not too far out of contention. A 150 shot of Nitrous would put it very close to the 9's at 140. However, in talking to a lot of folks they think I shouldn't do it. That its more impressive to run 10's consistantly with no "power adder". What do you think?

Anyway, I need to work on the Road Race and Autocross portion of the program so the car can compete. Actually the car is fine its me that need "work"

I do think that the Viper motor is "way cool" as anything "different" is always nice. It sounds like your conversion
is very well thought out. I just didn't get the blower and Nitrous but 800 HP with only 6lbs of boost is VERY impressive.

Have you ever heard of Mark Williams drive lines? I've been told that he makes of drive train stuff that is used by a lot of Pro stock (ie fast) cars and that his stuff is bullit proof. I don't like drive shaft problems and am hoping that the universal failure was caused by a worn pinion yoke. Not to mention dropping the clutch at 7,000 RPM with slicks

Regards,
