World Of Speed prep

We had some technical difficulties trying to get ready for Speed Week 2011 and the car didn't make it to the salt. Instead of taking a chance with the weather at the World Finals in October, we decided to head down to USFRA World of Speed event in September.
A couple small stress cracks appeared in the exact same location as the 2010 block after we dynoed the car. For some reason, we also made 41% LESS horsepower than we did with the 2010 motor. After thrashing for a few more days, a couple of tubes of JB weld, 4 pints of Morosos Irontite and some innovative ideas on how to seal the hairline cracks in the block, we returned to Dynojet. We broke the cardinal rule of race car tuning and changed boost, jetting, and timing. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it held together for a full pull at 10 pounds of boost, the block didn't crack any further, and it made enough horsepower to set a few more records!

Our goal remains ~
The first V4F roadster ever to go 150 MPH!
See you on the salt!
