If this car doesn't make it to the track we'll go for a high dyno number.

No but I think it will take 2 months to dial the car and see what works.

Yeah,dyno numbers are where it's at!! We all know how much you relish dyno and bench racing.
Hopefully,the build goes well and the car performs to up your expectations. Do you intend to do any shake down runs this summer (August/September) prior to going for the big enchilada 8.9x runs this fall?

For sure Dave.
There's alot of dialing in to do and things to test like tires.
I made a bunch of minor changes too.
I'm thinking I may find a few weak links, hopefully right away, so I could correct by late October.

My car has moved about 1 mile since the Smackdown.
