Just got off the phone with Terry Nish.  They have been working very hard to get everything put together for Speed Week but will just not have enough time.  Their intention at this point will be to run the Streamliner with the Hemi at the Shootout for "time only".  Without testing and tuning the car prior to the Shootout, especially with the completely new motor configuation, it would be difficult to pay the FIA/Shootout fee without knowing EXACTLY what they have.

Their goal has always been 425mph with a single-naturally aspirated engine.
