Agree Glenn.Thats one great thing about injection.Run it a little bit rich(maybe .010 or so) and it will have very little change with weather. Now with a craperator it may or may not change have nopt had one since 1985 and do not see it happening anytime in future either.

Car balance, weight where it needs to be, engine out far enough so that you don't have to put more than 20 lbs on the nose (so that yo have something you can take off on those super sticky tracks), right length wheelie bar (too short and it shocks the chassis).  After that, it's all driver.

wideopen231:
Man feeling better about this deal. Engines out at 50" .Battery in nose,fuel tank behind front axle centerline and hopefully nothing on nose needed. Wheelie bars is right at 5 1/2 '. Chassis is slip joint with limiters that can make rigid in cpl minutes with two wrench's.  should have lots of chassis tuning options. Now the light bulb different issue,been working on him all my life.
