Nice numbers. VT puts together a nice motor too.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Texas and in Hershey, unless your car is so fast that it pizzes me off and I don't go to Hershey! J/K!!

[cyclone03]

Wow Mad!
That was no bone,that was a slab-o-beef!

Truth is your set up will run,and be packaged the way the Marauder team would have done the car if they could.

I hope your planning on running the car at Dallas.

[MAD-3R]

Well, I would like to, but as everything in my life, It's up to my better half.

I'm a happly married man, just ask my wife, :)

:lol:

[cyclone03]

Heck you got the good stuff in it now (oil pump gears)so you'll have no problems.

[darebren]

what was the original failure with the OEM engine?? did you have warranty arbitrtation or something?

Sounds like my relationship with my ex-wife. I got to make all of the important decisions and she made all of the rest of the decisions. In 10 years of marriage we never had a single important decision to make! Go figure!!

[MAD-3R]

The original failure was with the oil pump. Sence I had aftermarket underdriver pulleys installed, they denied my warrenty. Going to arbitration would have been a lossing battle, and I wanted more then a stock motor if I was going to have to pay.
