did not know they had other options, doesnt show any on their site....also not sure what a "lazy" turbo is, but if you mean laggy, its not to bad, since it is a ball bearing turbo, certainly has some lag, but not to terrible.

Bad news gents.....Scattered thunderstorms are expected tomorrow. There is a great chance that there will be no video race due to weather.

Looking good Brian. I'd love to hear what your car will run in the quarter. I need to make a trip down to Nashville sometime to hang with you guys again.

^^Brian is fully built, Top to Bottom. Maybe you are referring to what I said about us Stock Blocks in the crew, and what we have done on just the stock block. So, can't wait to see what a fully built will do.

The weather is looking pretty good right now. I see little lighting strikes in the air, but no rain. Lets just hope it last through the weekend.

Sorry, we did not get to race YET. We were going to race today, but we broke out for lunch, and he had to leave for an emergency at home. But I will make up for not having a vid of us two. We have some bad **** vids of the Time Attack cars. We will get a vid of us two racing soon, no worries. His car is good by the way.

Car is running pretty good, however was not able to race Travis, as he said we had an air conditioner emergency at the house Sunday. Car runs down the highway, and in the city pretty well, need to tweak the Hydra a little as far as the idle goes at closed throttle with air on, but nothing real major at this point. I am hoping to have a little more time in the next few weeks to really take a look, at everything, and see if anything needs to be addressed or tweaked. I know there are still some things that I want to change, add, and tweak because I would like to run a couple of the time attack events before the end of the year. At some point I will post up the full specs on the vehicle.
