Good idea Phil, cause if ya was countin' sleeps and ya missed a couple, ya might turn up a couple a days late

Now that I have run it in a little, I went for the final tune yesterday, now computer and engine are friends again.

Is running your car on a dyno the most excruciating experience you can go thru, although a Ford V8 reving to 6500 under load thru side pipes is a wonderfull thing.

Car is finally ready, or ready enough to have some fun, getting the soft top made early next week so good weather is guaranteed for the nationals.

Looking forward to see everyone and putting some faces to people on the forum.

Absolutely can wait.

HI Richard,
The engine performed well, we got 408rwhp at 6500rpm and we could go a little more but I just could not take any more!!!!

The torque flat lined at 350 footpounds very quickly.

The engine was still making power, and we will probably get about 430rwhp, with a little more timing and revs.

The engine power curve is a straight line, there are no spikes or troughs, it is very well behaved and settles to a nice and very grumpy idle.

Richard, you are still forgetting something, even with the stock 5ltr I was still the weakest link!!!!
