It's just a low compression, low boost, pump gas motor.

Pic of the carnage?

I know you won't post a dyno, but can you at least say if you have 250lbft by 2500? Kinda a stretch goal for me.

Glad you were able to get it back together quickly and have it running right again. I felt so bad for you at Peru.

Here are a few videos from the Oscoda Pro Solo practice start session.


Did this one in second gear......just too much fun!!!!!!

Forgot to turn the traction control off on this one....so when I let go of the button it tried to stop it from spinning.....but it also shows a launch.

I'll post more later. But we won Back to Back SSM National Championships.

I ran the car in XP and was able to finish on the Podium in 3rd.

What an amazing week and a REALLY long season.

Now all the off season upgrades can get started.

So are you still thinking of making the move to XP or do the new class revisions still make it less favorable than SSM? It will always be cool to see this thing with more power/tire/overall higher state of prep that XP allows.
