Good luck, we need more of these cars

Gary one of the problems with SS/EX is the index With a soup to nuts top notch car you can probably run 9.70's (in real good air) But that might not even get you in the field at Indy.
You still have to deal with the drawbacks related to FWD. The far better class is SS/GS (the class I run) Heavy (18 pounds per cube) but a much softer index (for now). I've run 12.70's all over the place. And I believe that a properly done effort could run 12.3's.
My car has been in the process of change for 5 years and still is. A smaller stroke would help me, and as of now (and the rest of this year) I'm running a set of street headers (no step or merge)
