Grand Gixer that is the plan. It is to be competitive with the NS 12 S3A1. However we have some issues we need to solve surrounding materials. I'm certainly not putting my name on an engine I am not satisfied with. It has to be an engine I am willing to take out of the box place in my cars and go racing with or I won't have any part of it. It must be built to my specs from a materials, engineering, finish and durability perspective regardless of who the producer is. It must perform at the Novarossi level as they are the benchmark. Its proving to be a significant challenge but we will get there. Novarossi has significant years and fixed resources on us we are just having to get creative. I also don't want it to bust the bank when you buy it another significant hurdle. However I believe its possible and I have a plan.

Isuzu guy hows things yes Brad was testing two engines with one significant difference between them inside. One ran good one ran poor which verified my concern. I now know where to go with a materials change. I know he ran the good one in the main but I heard they missed the tune up and overheated it on the first fuel stop. I understand he struggled with fuel mileage with the novarossi's in qualifying. Our new 710 clutch works good but it beats up the fuel mileage because it hooks up so hard.
