My replica HQ Sandman panelvan

[ABSINTH74HQ]

A launch with daylight under the front tyres is always a good sign
11.6 is quite a stout time! what are you expecting from the new combo??? Or are you like me, and don't want to jinx yourself!!

PS: its good to see you fixed the inherent defects in the HJ design

Cheers Scotty.

I guess I would'nt like to make prophisies on how quick it might go. The engine has plenty of potential, but apart from the weight that the car will be, I think the limiting factor will be the rear tyres.
The biggest I can get under is 28 x 10.5". While it launched good before(best 60ft was 1.46, weighed 3800lbs) a blown engine makes different HP. Although it will probably come off the line OK, I'm not sure what it's going to do further down the track as it gets faster and stands on the tyres a bit, aslo blown engine still winding up hp.
I've still got the chassis etc that the blown engine came out of. I thought about backhalving the van and putting the 4 link, tubs etc, but decided to keep it looking like a streeter(kinda lol) I've taken a fair bit of boost out for when it starts, then once I've run it and seen how it goes, I can crank some OD back in the blower.
I guess it should run 10's easy enough and depending on how much boost I can put in, maybe into the 9's
