    You know I could never beat you cause you got NOS and carbon fiber stuff...:bowdown: Did you get your wing and jets for your GTO yet?

    I mostly race at Fontana, Barona, Las Vegas and Bakersfield. Mostly just PSCA races or test and tune these days.

    Yeah, Dart! BTW did you get your supercharger to fit without hammering the fender skirt? 10's should be pretty easy for your combo.

    Is your Comet done yet? Post some progress pics. :bouncy:

    I ran it on the motor last weekend without the supercharger, but it died off the line. I went about 50' then re-started the motor and got back on it. It ended up going 104mph in the 1/8. Probably a carb issue.

    Anyways, it should be up and running in a week or so. I just need to get a remote water pump because the CSR pump hit the blower pulley. Everything else is ready. The plan is to take it to Westech Dyno so Kevin from CSU can tune the carb for me, then I plan on racing it at PSCA on November 7-9.
