I think I missed you by 15 minutes yesterday. I hope to drop it in soon, should be ready for the engine dyno early next week. The car is now a roller, but it is still in my garage on Esposito's dolly - just need trailer it and take it off the dolly.

Barrow Allan's trailer and get on with it! If you need help getting it off the dolly let me know.

I heard it was going over to the Aasco stand dyno. Allan is think 350ish. With the weight of your car, it's going to take self discipline to keep the front end in front ...and a lot of runner.
