Nice projects!! Especially the turbo v8, even tough I always would have preffered a ford engine in a ford 
Looking forward to see progress and what power it will make - very nice work!!

Nice strong number that, is it a 350? What torque did it make at at what boost and rpm did it perform best?
Are you pleased with the XFI injection?

FAST XFIs systems are great, my friend john sleath (drag racing legend i might add) uses these as he is a UK dealer and he loves them, they do the job, i have alot of friends in yank drag cars running it and i will be following suit one day, well worth having

haha was wondering if john had got his way with you, have you had it on his dyno for those runs as well? if so did he do a video? heard he had a near miss this weekend in the audi when it turned towards the wall at pod but he held onto it, such a nice car and a top bloke to boot

he did a 9.09 on that run with a abort as its turned at 330ft (this is off the eurodragster site) and at the end of friday he had 8.48 @ 184mph so he is struggling off the line id guess. wish i was there but couldnt go this weekend, il look through yesterdays runs but i dont think the track opened and todays will be posted up as they go down
EDIT he put in a 7.85 @ 190mph today so far
