I think it looks about ready to go into a car, so maybe we will all learn some more about it before the summer is over!

The engine that was in that car had the big toilet bowl injector. That looks different.

It would have to make ridiculous and insane HP above and beyond any other slant in history has ever made to be cost effective.

Regarding the single collector there is a great picture of Pat Nahan's E/D that just set the NHRA record at 7.35 in this week's National Dragster. Not a Slant but an inline six nonetheless and he is definately running 6 into 1.

Well. I am eaten up with curiosity about that head. It may not NEED a turbo to run competitively with the hairdryer cars.... Looks absolutely awesome! When are we going to be treated to some more eye-popping photos and comprehensive specs/details of that beauty???

I'm dying to know the specifics...
