Sorry guys, things have been crazy around here, projects, dyno days... and now we are MOVING!! But I wanted to give you an update:
So, it's taking a little longer than expected to get the parachute and cage installed, but things are still going well. I had mentioned before they were going to use some electro-static-gizmo to paint the cage INSIDE the car... well, I guess the painter showed up and said "Not in THIS car!"
So, they are tacking it all in place, taking it out to paint... then welding it all back in.
It'll take an extra few weeks, but I appreciate the respect they showed the car and it's well worth the wait.
In the meantime, this showed up:
Tom at Driven Innovations just sent us this manifold! He strongly felt that his manifold would be a perfect addition to our goals, and sponsored the car!
We've been up in the air on what intake manifold to run this season, but seeing this thing in person, it is by far the best design out there for what we want to do!
Thanks again Tom! I can't wait to get this thing going!

Looks good!
Is this their new version? It looks smaller than the original/first version.
What TB will you use?

Sorry it's been so long since I posted an update. I wanted to get it outside and get some better pictures, but this will have to do. I was in kind of tight quarters, so I cant really get a good, whole shot of the car, but for now, here she sits:
We will have to take a hole saw to the RICER plate to get it to fit on there... but you better believe she will be tagged!!

Shawna, why is it every time i stop by the shop or look in my garage and see the beauty of a car you and em and cory, gleason, and austin built for me i feel the urge to get a 10K line of credit and give you guys the car for a few months? ricer looks great, even better in person.
