Thanks! Yeah I've been wanting to do this for a while but I hadn't thought about bolting the strip of metal to the plastic like that. I was trying to figure out how to bolt it to where power is applied but how to isolate the bracket from the power so I wouldn't be grounding out to the frame haha.

If I move my OMP 2-cycle tank, maybe I'll do this instead of relocating them to the rear bins. This would be much easier lol.

Very nice. Was the dyno session an engine only one? I always thought that would be cool to do.

Correct. This was done on an engine dyno. I will have wheel numbers eventually. Once everything settles in completely.

Its about to be shipped from the west coast to him in Biloxi. As anxious as Josh is, i wouldn't be surprised if when it arrives he Hulks out, grabs it by each side and installs it by hand.

It should ship tomorrow or Tuesday. I just sent my final invoice amount this morning. "Not a bad way to spend $10k"

Once it's in my garage, inspected thoroughly for no shipping damage, and I can FINALLY relax.... I plan to dry hump it for a solid hour.

Thanks . I ordered from Norcal Autogroup. They are vendors on Norotors. Mark has excellent customer service as I purchased my Tremec Magnum T56 through him as well.

I have heard good things about them. Dave (my builder) said he had known them for 10+ years and they knew the Holley ECU very well. I am very anxious to get my hands on their map to see where things lye. All I have to go on now is the dyno sheet notes saying "29 degrees" and "more timing". It easily has another 20-30hp in there. Especially with 93.

Almost 2 days and no comments... guess you are not wanted here anymore Josh.

I think I watch too many rotary dyno vids as the whole time I was watching the vid I was thinking to my self "that engine sounds a bit weird" LOL


Good to see the new engine guy came through.

I think this is a great build! Major props to you Josh.

I should be finally able to make to DGRR this year and of course, John can't make it.

I'll be looking forward to actually seeing this car there.
