I started my new Cartek 427 Darton wet sleve engine today. It sounded so good, Its hard to belive. Thanks To Dave and all the guys at Cartek. Its off to Stainless Works next week for the 3" exaust system. Then back out to Cartek for dyno tuning. Then I'm going to live at the race tracks the rest of the summer. See ya there, John. :seeya

John
I'm glad you got it running. I can't wait to see that thing run at the track.
I'm sure you will be going to the Birthday Bash in April. Let me know when you take it to the track for the first time, I want to be there. Good Luck.
Tom

Thanks Guys. I droped my vette off at Stainless Works this morning, All I can say is WOW!!! they got the stuff. A cnc laser cutter, a cnc tubing bender, two different buildings, and best of all, Hot Rods every where. I should have a custom made 3" exaust system in about a week. Then off to Cartek for some dyno tuning. John. :hurray: :hurray:
