I have a serious a$$ engine builder/tuner that I have been friends with for over 12yrs. If anything were to happen to him the only shop that would ever touch my car is ENGLISH RACING

I would put my car on the train or transport and send it off or fly them in!

No I don't know my ptw, sorry. I know they take your input on what you are going to use the car for when they chose clearances.

It's the modified waterpump (no spacer etc.), I think english racing is the one who makes it. Def had no issues with the waterpump.

Going to beat on it some more in an hour at the track. If the driver mod is good enough and I run better times look for some vids on the forum later

Thats cause of sloppy bearing clearences. Tom did a lot of research and brainstorming when he did you motor. I am glad to see its takein the abuse pretty well.

I would like him to build a motor for me, but not sure of his availability since the last time I asked him, he said he was too busy to build motors.

Just to update you like I said I would. I got a PB of 10.3 at 135mph Saturday night. 6th time going to the track. Motor kicks some serious as... butt.

Good luck wherever you chose

I will flat out say it they build ****. They half *** stuff and don't build a very good quality motor. I have seen pleny of them blow up in the past due to reused this cut corners on that ect. I am sure Fred will chime back in ask him how his motor held up. He is the latest person I know that have ran one. He goes by the name srt4.
