Had a great time at SEMA this year, and met some of the guys on here... good times!

Here are a few short videos I shot from my phone from SEMA and Optima:

Brian Hobaugh Auto-X run
Mark Stielow Auto-X run
James Shipka Auto-X run
Mark and Brian short road course video clip
Vaughn Gitten Jr. in the Monster Mustang drifting in the SEMA lot

Congrats to Brian H. and Mark S. for first and second place finishes at Optima!

Rob and I spent a bunch of time looking at that R07.... he wished he had one for a brief minute there.

Great meeting you at the party Dale... look fwd to seeing your car one day... on a track no less.

It was great to meet you, Rob, Ron, and Bret last week

When you guys all get your cars done we'll have to meet up at a track day somewhere in California.

The R07 engine looks very similar to your engine set up. I noticed the R07 has multiple short belts rather than one long serpentine belt. That must be the solution to keeping the belts on at high RPM. I went back and looked at your engine pics and you have a very similar set up.

I've been having trouble with my serpentine belt lately... I like the set up with the shorter belts.

After seeing the welds on the header flanges........I could care less about that motor!

That makes sense on the shorter belts. Hope it works for me since I am only revving to 7500 max.

Rob of course pointed out I have the oil pump on the wrong side.
