I don't know if some of you guys remember my ordeal with purchaseing this engine. I know some of you were not here. I purchased this engine with only several hundred miles on it before the mustang it was in was crashed. I was expecting a ready to run engine. Instead, after almost losing it due to the seller trying to rip me off, I had to rebuild it because it was so hammered. I can honestly say with all that behind me, it was worth the wait!

The word "deranged" has a new definition. In a good sort of way. I happen to know Valley Firearms is, in real life, a Baptist minister. Well, at least he was until he drove that car.

Thanks guys! You guys are funny. Looking at the videos now it seems like I over reacted. You just had to have been there. You know when guys build their engines and are expecting lots of HP and big numbers? Then they are bummed when the real number come in. Well, I can say just the opposite. I did not have these expectations! It is way more than I ever imagined.
I am going to put the CalTracs on tomorrow. Also I will have someone video tape it from outside the car.

I can only hope my reaction is nearly as excited when I spin the wheels the first time. Congrats!

You's got some serious traction issues.

Now take it to the track.
