Don't count me out yet. I plan on have CHECKERS back on the road by the end of the month, unless we have trouble getting the parts. They still haven't got it apart yet. If they dont get started by monday it's going to another shop.

Fresno just a little to far. I did talk to Jan about 2.0 stroker engine, just in case this one is toast. But i really dont think it's that bad.

Outta curiousity, how much is the 2.0L stroker engine? Does it come with everything, or do you get the block & have to build it up to functional status? Hope your car's a-ok man!

The final numbers are 200.4 whp and 176.1 wtq. e-throttle is improved massively and it is rich enough that I was able to get a flame to shoot out on let off. At one point I had a 4 foot flame, but the fuel was too rich and I was only making 198 whp.... I will have a video of the flame soon. Because my first run on the dyno was after a tune by jan, it was 202 whp and I don;t have a basline. Going by my previous dyno session on a dynojet, I improved 13 whp and 12 wtq. It could have been better if i didn;t have a damn exhaust leak (again!).... Anyways, I'm verry happy with the results and I feel comfortable ramping up the n2o for better quarter mile times. Thanks Jan!
