All in all it's a pretty tough car to watch, i really enjoyed it. Seeing that sort of deal fly through the gears down the race track just inspires me to want to do the same thing myself.

Having said that i would like to line it up with my funny car....LOL..... :

Well i didn't think a manifold and and rocker change still constituted an unopened engine. I'll be looking at all the unopened times with even less notice now. All i look at is the Time itself.

Hahaha My engine is unopened. Just don't ask how i got the stroker crank in there okay!

The car had no rocker change whatsoever - the car is at APS for all to see.

I will personally back this car, and if anyone at the Ford meet wants to see the car run a number and then have the rocker covers pulled off, im sure we can arrange it.

ULTRA Impressive time.

Open/unopened who cares really. Top effort

PS
Manafold change = not opened.........fair enough Suppose heads wont be classed as open next either.

To my way of thinking "unopened" means long moter, ie: sump, heads, inlet manifold, rocker covers all left un opened.
