3/4 tank for his car is 16 gallons, if i remember he has a 22 gallon tank

You are correct. I thought that 22 gallons would last a while. However, after 4 20 minutes sessions, I was almost out of fuel. That works out to 7.14 MPG while racing.

I sold my complete engine to one of my customers, the supercharger to an employee, and the fuel pumps to Bruce H. I still have the 40amp competition BAP for sale.

I have a BMR K member for the small block Ford on order and it should be here around the 23rd. I bought a complete turn key Sprint Cup qualifying engine from Roush Yates. The engine was sitting in one of Mark Martin's spare cars. The dyno sheet shows 854 flywheel HP at 8900 RPM's. The engine should be here on Monday. I ordered a 3 disc Quarter Master clutch too. I also ordered a $6,000 dollar magnesium cased sequential shifted clutchless 4 speed road race Jerico for the car. Today, I need to call Quick Fuel and have them build me a custom roadrace 1050 CFM carburetor. It's all starting to come together.

I will still need to freshen the engine, plumb the 5 stage dry sump, build step headers. I am also putting the car a major diet. I gutted the doors and removed in the inner panels and crash beams. This took 65lbs out of the car, I removed the passenger airbag and I will be removing the entire harness out of the car and removing the heater and all of the ducts. I will custom wire the car with an ignition toggle switch, push button start, wiper toggle switch, and a head light toggle switch. To save even more weight, I will build my own steering column. I hope the car will be 500 lbs lighter and make the same HP it did with the 3V.

I am hoping to have it on the track in November and I plan on still driving it on the street too.

Here are the dyno numbers;
