Not on the dyno yet, Art's just doing some preliminary tuning with the laptop. Should be able to get it pretty streetable next Thursday. With two people in the car, we can dial it in pretty good.

We still have a motor swap to do, but I'll take it back after the TORC show on May 9 for that.

Garm, are you going to drag it with that built motor at all? I'm just itching to see how fast that thing is.

Please take that thing and a video camera to Laguna Seca this year. Please?

that's the first thing I'm going to do.
I have drag wheels + slicks ready to go.

I'm really crappy at drag racing, so I want to avenge my tarnished reputation in that area.
