I visited with George, Ron, & Ken at the PRI. Everything was very casual with their car on display and no real agenda, so they were very easy to visit with. They said the car is 800# lighter than the old design due to carbon body and removing the hydraulic lift system that was built in. George said he barely needs a bump off of the line and the car now pulls very well. It is interesting that they built the motor to produce 45 psi boost at sea level so that they could get 39-40 at Bonneville. They said their 3000 horsepower in the shop worked out to 2500 on the salt. Look for an A motor in the future and also see if they don't go after some gas records if they can get things to survive with 400 degree higher internal temps.
The new issue of Race Engine Technology #99 has a great story detailing the build of the Dart SBC and the components that were used in the build.
I am betting on this car to set a lot of records.
