That's what I was thinking.

Whatever time frame someone tell's you, alway's double it to be sure.

The engine is just about ready to go together, we just need the turbo and manifold to be ready in the next week or so, then we can run it in and get it tuned on the mainline at JEM. As andrew said, it will be touch and go - but we are confident!

Like most big builds there have been a few bumps along the way and unfortunately due to things out of our contol we will miss the nats. Really frustrating for Andrew and us, but that the car game. I suppose our big debut will be Powercruise at the end of Feburary. The car will be ready well before then, so this will give andrew plenty of time to get used to it before taking it out on the track in anger!

I wouldnt worry about the Horsepower Heroes a great deal. Everyone knows who won last year, and what happened to Gus' panelvan, but who can tell me, without googling/looking, who won 6 cyl forced, 4cyl forced, and what was there final output numbers? No one I reckon, because nobody really cares about any other class besides 8 cyl F/I, or anything under 1500hp there. that's just the Summernats attitude, it sucks, but that's the way it goes.

You are better off competing at the Powercruise and the local dyno days, you will have much more fun and the car will get the recognition it deserves.

Exactly what we were thinking Mick. I was upset that we couldn't meet the deadline for Andrew, but there is always that saying "maybe it wasn't ready for a higher reason"...

Alternatively run it on the track and see what mph you can achieve at full weight.

Would that include the large Mexicana with olives, anchovies and mushrooms you had for dinner? :)
