Hi Paul,

We finished (some what) the header / exhaust late Thursday. The Fabricator stayed late finishing it up so I could drive to AMVIV on Friday. It still needed work but we just ran out of time.

I just dropped the car off earlier today so he could make it all perfect . The Fabricator felt sick allowing me to drive the car out of his shop last Thursday before it was finished.

As soon as it's done it will be back to the Dyno. Should be Monday.

Once we get it all done I plan on making a few runs down the track. Your constant badgering finally worked Paul.

Longboard

Hey Longboard, did your schedule work out as you hoped?

and a head core? With those two, the timing is up to you!

I understand that the demand is high, and core returns may be key in fast filling of orders. So if you buy a core to send in, you should get a faster turn around....

I may be the second car with Jan's head as soon as tomorrow. I'm going to Autowave in Huntington Beach for a baseline dyno later this afternoon. Ok... not so much baseline, as my car is far from stock, but you get the idea . I'll do 3 pulls before, and 3 after, , and see what type of delta I get .

I'll keep everyone posted!

Ok,

The latest is that we are playing with the cat back to get the right combination of power and sound. Proto type #1 was to load even for me. We have hooked up with a very well none exhaust company to help create a system that "works" with the head / header.

I am very excited to get my car back (should be Monday). Since AMVIV I haven't seen or driven my car much at all. I installed a coolingmist W/M injection kit and have yet to try it out. The good Dr. O gave me some distiled water at AMVIV and I used it on the ride home but I have yet to add methanol to really see what it will do.

I have also sold my DFIC and am planning a different path for cooling the intake charge. Once we get all this done it's off to tune. All this stuff takes time to do right. But, I promised to share everything with the community and I will.

I also picked up a new set of 18" RO_JA Formula 7 forged rims. Hey, it was a good deal. At least thats what I told my wife.

So, lots of cool a fun things to come.

Actually, you will be #3 with the big valve. Congratulations

There should a mean GP running around real soon as well. Also, there is an automatic running around with the smaller valve version of the Jesus head.

Yes, he has two heads!

Once we get enough local guys running around making big power we should plan a canyon run.

What are the differences between the two heads? one is for more torque at low-RPMs?

I don't think so. I have a business trip planned for Holland and I leave Sunday morning.

Have fun tomorrow. Tell Danny I said hi. He is my bother from another mother.

Seems like Jesus gives you more bang for the buck than Moses. But if I'm reading you correctly, Moses is the choice for MC and MCSa owners, whereas MCS owners should be looking to Jesus?
