Yes same setup as the dyno day, and we have some ideas to try and improve upon the head gasket situation for next year :) Unfortunately Brent Rau has already been through all of this and resorts to changing his head gasket every three passes or so lol, hopefully we can find another way!

I think a Race Pak is in order. Do you have any way to datalog g-loads or even driveshaft speed. I know the track was cold but that thing has more than enough tire. Suspention tunning time? Maybe even playing with some ballast would kill wheel stand.

Dialing power in is important but doing it safley is an issue.

Very impressive car.

Do you still have coolant passages on the bottom of the head?

I saw a thread awhile back with Magnus showing how they would weld up every single coolant passage going from the head to the block. They ran coolant through the head only using a lil custom work.

I guess the end result of this was a more rigid head by way of filling voids.

We are hard blocked up to the water pump, but anything further would hinder our streetability :(
