    It was good to see you out there Terry! I enjoyed watching you run the van and the Sundance. I was really hoping to see 11.9xxx on that last run, but you will get there!

    All I can say is that it is a 4-cylinder Mopar Motor spinning the front tires.
    Anything else is FAIR GAME for the B-O-U-N-T-Y $$$$$$$$

    Re: Minivan Progress Report

    Hmmm, so I got all winter to go nucking futs on my spare motor, then I can annoy the hell out of everybody by breaking into the 11s with an N/A 3.0 powered minivan...


    Yeah I know, I'm dreaming, 250 whp if I'm lucky, low 14s if I'm lucky....

    But mebbe someone will lend me a bottle... strip down to race weight of 3000lb (inc me) and a 100 shot of nawwwzzzzz...

    But keep that on the down low, if I decide to (or get spare cash to) go for it and Simon gets wind, he might not sell me a set of those 3.0 race cams until after the season starts.
