We are slowly getting there..Its going to be close for the WFC.. we should have the engine finished next tuesday and get it put in. we decided to go with a GT40 Block with my stroker set up. its taking alot of machining to get it right! We have the new Big Stuff 3 software to do the tuning..We hope to get it fired up by the end of next week..but were a million miles away! Seems like every year i do something like this and just get my truck done like the day before we have to head out to WFC!..I hope we get done in time this year.its going to be close!. JL

INTENSE is the word that describes it all. It's like going from the nose bleed section of the stadium right down on the top of the dug out. HOLY Truck'in MOLY.. Good luck Johnny, looks like you just redesigned what the racing MOD motor is all about. If it all comes together, and I am sure it will, I bet sure your truck will glaze the cover of some very popular magazines in the near future!!!

I hear that! I am shooting for NMRA at atco in Aug.

You know the big things aren't the problem putting these race trucks together its all the little things.

I see you got a Th400 for it (good choice) but who's converter are you going to use? I see alot of guys going with Neal Chance because they can't get there's right. If you can't get it right don't mess around go right to them. Big money but the best converter money can buy.
