Sounds great ! Is that Winston in the video if so he is getting around great?

 No, Winston's gone to the big doghouse in the sky. That's the new guy, Dexter.

 

The engine's going on the dyno at the end of next week. (Friday Nov. 22nd.) I'll do a post with some results right after we run it.

Unfortunately, we didn't end up with as much compression as we wanted but I'm still hoping it'll make decent power.

Sorry to hear about Winston he seemed to quite the character. But I must add Dexter looks to be filling his shoes well.

Thought it was time for an update.
We are getting the car dialed in.
On the weekend we went to the track and the car ran a 9.06 at 148.8 mph in the quarter. That is our fastest so far.

It's just about 3,200 lbs with a driver.
