He's a very talented and intelligent guy. Based on the car I saw it was going into, it has to be a beast with that motor in it making that kind of power. The rest of the car was well sorted when I saw it a year ago.

Abby, would it be possible to get a video of the RA event this week-end?

I wish I could be up there but I can't. I'm in the middle of moving from Hamilton to Savannah and am consumed with that. I'm missing my HS reunion, the 928 OCIC, the race at RA,,,,,the list goes on of events that I would have liked to attend. Duty calls.

I'll see if someone I know who is going can though.

Sometimes the truth is just painful. I have a jones for the track in a big way and life is just a runaway train because of work this year. And work is why I am moving. The good news is that I'm moving less than an hour from Roebling Road. So next year should be Trackapalooza

That would be great, Chad!

I'd love to here that beast making the hill up turn 1 and down into 10a

The soundtrack is sweet on my car so that thing has got to sound wicked.

If you make it, please share.

I'm not sure if he moved it back or not..it's been in a 928 before so maybe so.

Actually what I meant to say Abby was:

"at least you are NOT taking "time off" from racing and selling your car.........."

in other words, you are in good shape.......

Someone should move the decimal place on Hacker's post count so it'll be like
1.032126

Just over one.
But not by much.

Is Mike's set up the Loui Ott ITBs? 640rwhp? really? Wow!

I wonder what he has mounted it to. remembrer those transmissions dont really like torque over 450ft-lbs.

you want to see a beast, check out this thing we have been racing against in SCCA ITE. 650hp. and it handles like a dream! Griggs racing Mustang with some nascar, hill climb motor of some sort.
