significant strides were made in the last two weeks with regards to power and we hope durability. we are pulling it all together. we had a eureka moment last monday night and the true potential of the engine was reveled. still pulling hard at 330 ft .All I can say is Unfricken believable, I never dreamed a 12 could run that hard. I'm still beside myself and cant get over it with all the problems we had at the great lakes challenge. Ironicly the issue was a very small one requiring just a .3 mm change to a part. All the plans are in place we hope to launch the engine soon with the fixes. stay tuned. The nats is the true test as to whether we have it nailed or not. I believe we do. All my buddies said I should not say anything but I just cant help it. If the production motors have power like the preprototypes do you will be buying stock in belts and diff gears. The engines went from mediocre to absolutly stupid on power.

Gixer thanks fot the support. I know we are manufacturers and in the business to make money but people who appreciate what we are really trying to do are rare. again thanks. RD and Richey Performance thank you all for your support.
