Any way, just to get it going again, I talked to Axa. There will be no showdown until the entire Formula contingent is there to observe and judge.


I saw Axa as well, this past weekend in Syracuse. Seems he's busy lately, on top of being a new grandfather, he's into the new engine build for the "Fountain Killer" Formula, repower on the Caddy, and the 525 EFI freshen-up for the D & D Race Team boat. Also been trying to locate some missing Russian "Guys" of somewhat questionable character in Florida.


The thread does seem a little dead lately, I'm thinking it's undergone a gender change. Lost a "B" and morphed into the "TIBNC" thread, ahh for the good old days.

Yes you can still come!!! Last I heard blowers were not part of the program and short of that there is only so much you can do. Seem to recall someone was looking for those "lost" legnths. Might not want to switch camps just yet.

Hmmm, I don't seem to remember that part of the conversation?

I like having Sonic at my camp! He can come over anytime!

This was sitting on my kitchen table not too long ago. Still not sure of the color. Black or Blue? Anyone?

I'd say blue, but I would flip it right side up when you bolt it on the engine. You could get a real bang for your buck with a pair of them. Speaking of "them", where is the other one?

Ahhh...at the machine shop.....on the first motor...on the dyno...Making boost!!

That's all for now!

Dave

PS. Gonna stay with the black. Looks good with the new taller valve covers and gives it a stealthy look.

Stealthy is good . I just hope you turned it right side up before you bolted it on. So where are the pics and dyno sheets???
I would expect to see HP numbers in the high 700 or low 800 range with all the new tricks. Or, perhaps we are being fed a slice of cow pie.

I believe the entire package is available, was contacted a while ago by the current owner about the possible purchase when I was shopping.
