The brakes are finished, the entire motor is complete. We also got the wrap pulled off today & get her sanded & ready for the new one. The hole in the hood is fixing to go on monday. With any luck we should be testing in a week or so.
It's ok if you do not answer this question, but here I go. How much boost are you pushing in the motor John Robinson.

Can't wait to see what comes of your venture as we just replaced all 6 injectors in our 6.7

Congrats John! How did I miss this thread? I'm proud to say I've had my hands on Karen's body before (helped on and off with it at Indy)!

Are you coming out to Arizona next week?

Regards,
Michael Pliska

Thank you guys for all the kind words. Everybody on the team is absoutley proud.We always have been. We have had much financial help from many good people & we have never let any one or company down....we have always kept our promises, no matter what. Not being born with the cash to do this can be taken as a good thing some times.....It means you have to find another way & make it work....This is a great group of guys that has worked like heck to prove themselves & I`m so happy to see a plan comeing together & good things happen for them. I promise...We wont drop this opprutunity. Its all up to us now.............
