<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10>People are asking about our test on Sunday Morning.
<BR>
<BR>We were leaving test site when the Police Car arrived. Enclosed Trailer....... :-)
<BR>
<BR>Limited to 2nd gear but test surpassed expectations................................
<BR>
<BR>Larry Young cam comes in at about 3k-3.5k and is <U>extremely</U> strong as far as we took it. Some loping under 3K, but expected.
<BR>
<BR>Head & Intake Manifold is Uncle Jack's with 11+:1 Compression & with Mike Belfer's old 87mm flatop Hepolites. Con Rods are Uncle Jack's version of the Chevy Rod Conversion. Crane Ignition and my favorite carbs ZS-175s.
<BR>
<BR>Then there is a bunch of ARE stuff hung on it...Carb Heat Shield, Front Alloy Engine Plate, Rocker Arm Spacers, Torque Reaction Arm, Flywheel Dust Shield, 10# Steel Flywheel....Kas' Velocity Stacks. Buy some of this stuff. I just wrote a big check to Riverside Sports Cars. :-)
<BR>
<BR>Transmission performed extremely well (Riverside Sports Cars) but not fully tested, yet. Third & Fourth under full race conditions.
<BR>
<BR>We are ecstatic. #197 has never been lower, wider, or faster, methinks. Now we will tune for all settings, ignition and carbureter, likely at Watkins Glen. We will be pleased to run midpack, if we can. Both Drivers are suffering from a lack of seat time and have no illusions about running at the front. But that's OK.
