Congrats on the record! It's time to install a 100 shot and hit the 9's.

Hey Jim that's FAST and FUN . . . Getting my #1 SRT6 out of the paint shop this week and then taking it over to J S BENZ to have JR install the WaveTrac 3.27 rear end. Slowly coming together. I still intend to get up to PBIR and play for a day. Best regards . . . Bob

Yes I have a reprogrammed TCU for the 327 rear end (I think Rudy had his hands on it). I'll be sure to let you know when I'm ready to head up to spend the day at PBIR. Looking forward to it!

I was very impressed by Jim's runs & all the fast cars there on Sunday.
Since I am from Nebraska, it was perfect weather for racing. J Bish

Fantastic run Jim. Glad she is running well. Is that with the new rear end, or you still running the old? I found a machine shop to make the spacer we talked about. Still working on it, hope you get it figured out as well.
