Definitely the right color and please publish where you will be racing, so I can decide if my little Boss S wants to travel to the same track to be humbled by the Capaldi Cyclone. Wish you were closer so I could get ole 22 up there for a refresh!

We are working up 2021 plans which should involve some tracks a little further from home...stay tuned!

Any chance you will be at the NASA Great Lakes season opener at NCM?

Curious why you went with a Boss manifold. Are the dyno numbers from the video top secret?? Would love to have any engine specs you could share...

Its a possibility but we generally do not attend NCM simply because of the sound limits in place.

We started with a Boss Manifold and run several different manifolds depending on what series / rule set we are working with. Some series we are mandated a restrictor plate, others are simply power to weight so we utilize what is best for the scenario.

Heh, thanks for the heads up on the sound limit situation at NCM, because I am pretty sure I would be a bit over the standard Decibel figure for some tracks. I am kind of spoiled that the track I am a member at has a Ghostbuster's style symbol showing sound limits in a circle with a red slash though the center, ha.

Actually I believe it is set at 103 DBs

Yeah, the 103 decibel limit at 50 feet kind of limits some of the race cars. I understand that they strictly enforce it. I just run HPDE with my S197, so it isn't a problem for me. Well I will have to wait for a later time to get a close up of your cars.
