Guys trust me dreams can come true :D So hurry up & finish those projects cause we aint here for ever for,

I honestly say I have dreams of pulling up to a light with a Model A, and having some smart alek come up beside me and "gunning the throttle a little" to give me a razz.

The light changes - and I blow his doors off in my tricked out - but externally stock Model A.

THIS could possibly do it.

So Derek, are you going for a re-do of Burt Munro, only from the opposite end of the island? Vern

Re: 1st Fire up a salt a
 

I would really like to hear and see that run. After 8 years on the Demon Team and taking a break the last three years, I might have to see about getting on another team. No place like Bonneville. Good luck with it, Mark.

Re: 1st Fire up a salt a
 

How much horse power does that motor have????

Re: 1st Fire up a salt a
 

If no video tube of it running.....it doesn't run

Re: 1st Fire up a salt a
 

I would like to see more pictures, intake, pulley set up and am curious what rpm it takes to make boost and how much. I have the parts to try a similar set up.

Re: 1st Fire up a salt a
 

I've seen the video on Facebook. It runs alright....
