Looks like some real nice assembly and rigging work there.
How long will you be able to run it with a solid block ?
What she run on gas alchohal Nitro / Alcohol mix
Also are you planning on racing it and if so what kinda times are you hoping to run. I might take it to Ming later on this year
How long will you be able to run it with a solid block ? 1/4 mile or 8.5 gallons of fuel, which ever comes first
Very What kind of speeds are you expecting? The pump and hull are setup to Blown Fuel Jet specifications.
Thats rad 1/4 or 8.5 gallons of fuel holly shit. Ya i thought it looked like a alchohal or top fuel deal but there was only one distributer so i wasnt sure. Who built the motor?

Joe Boghosian is the engine builder.
So how many minutes can one of those motors run before they need to be torn down and the pistons and bearings replaced ?
It seems like at that level of performance the maintenance would be an incredible expense.
RIP. :supp:
