After Tallhed we made som upgrades on springs and put on a new cold air intake duct. Thought that it would help to get lower IAT:s
Tryed with 3 different boost settings but no luck with either. Goes the same speed with 11 psi as 20. Engine misses alot when we go higher. We will change some in our Ignition/Ecu setup to next race and we will come back faster.
Best 60-foot this event was 1.08, 7.70 ET with 175mph.

Me and my girl bought this transportation for her shoes and my racecar. Thats why its so large.

At last, its been a long summer of problems hunting me and my teammates. I lost one of the most importent Teammates and gained another. But its been mostly time spent alone in the garage lately.
On Tallhed we had a new built engine, Still 516 CUI but with upgraded Venolia rods, Larger BB2 extra brodix heads, new jesel valvetrain.
Neal chance provided me with a new stator that worked better than the last one. The Tranny was serviced with a new tailshaft bearing after 3 runs 1/16 runs.
I also mounted on a fresh set of Hoosier 34.5 slicks. (lots of bolts on a converter/wheel 
)
We went our first 400m pass with the car and then started to add small things. (the passes below are these that gained something. We did 12 passes total)
8.34/254 (6000 rpms shifts 2 psi off line 4400 Transbrake 8 psi total)
8.11/265 (6500 rpms shifts 2 psi off line 4400 Transbrake 8 psi total)
7.99/284 (7000 rpms shifts 4 psi off line 4600 Transbrake 8psi total)
7.65/299 (7200 rpms shifts 6 psi off line 5000 Transbrake 8psi total)
7.63/303 (7500 rprms shifts 8 psi off line 5400 Transbrake 11psi total)
7.58/306 (7800 rpms shifts 8 psi off line 5600 Transbrake 18psi total)
On the last two passes i gained more and more heat in my intake and start spinning the tires oout of the hole. So we have to do some minor change and well get back again. Kjula next weekend will be our next stop before Tierps end of season race.

After our race in Söderhamn we was sure that Tierp Arena in late july will provide us with some good track times. Why? New comp turbos in place, a new updated stator from Neal chance and fresh tires. There was only warmups left to do before loading the trailer. But i wanted to do some services on the engine at home. New oil/filter sparkplugs, leakdown and lash. When changing my oil i alwasy split the pan and we found some larges problems. A rod and bearing was broken and the crank needed a grind.
So i took the crank/rods/pistons to Värmdö motorteknik for the job. But there was no way to use the broken rod again so i gave them free hands to fix the crank and re-balance it for my venolia aluminum rods.
Then it took quite a while for my freight company to deliver new bearings and other stuff from Mike lewis in Usa. He managed to get me all the stuff needed in 2 days and sent me it with a 1-3 day shipping. It took 2 weeks! To bad. I started to assemble everything this week but found problems on the new heads i bought. The springs have a to large outer diameter so they hit my rockers.
Bolted on my usual canfields instead and took a leakdown to check everything but they leaked alot on some intakes. So they are off again and will be delivered to a shop for service.
I hope to get out and do some racing soon. But this year has been nothing but sad!

Our car was raceready last week but there was no races to go to. So we decided to go to Söderhamn for 1/8 test&tune this saturday.
We had a new Transmission , Driveshaft with 1480 joints, new fabricated wishbone and driveshaft safety items on rear end and in car.
I also had a discussion with Neal chance for a stator change and we had the new stator in for this test&tune.
The first two runs were made with no boost of the line and i found no grip at all. The converter felt very loose even on 13 psi. For run #3 i tested to build boost and when i left the starting line i was on my shiftlight. The converter stalled 7800 rpms. ;(
So we are going back to our old stator and will be testing again 29-30 july @ Tierp Arena.
Brillko. Racing was invited för some tests at Kjula Raceway.
We set for a massive burnout and in third gear @ 8300+ the journey stopped. We broke everything from Rear-end yoke to engine midplate. As a driver the instant stop, raining parts inside my car and something that hit my knee felt bad. I know direct that this would cost some money but not this much!
My father was the only one bleeding as he got a part from the drivetrain on his nose. So i guess after all we are a bit lucky in the family.
We will come back, And hoping to drive again very soon. I want to give a special thanks to Johanneshovs Plåtslageri AB for the extra support they gave on this incident. We still look for more sponsors to come back. Dont hesitate to send me an email for an open discussion.
Best Regards

At last after much headache, problems and other bad Things We are Here. Malmö holds the first event in this years series.
First run with the new car… 4500rpm max and no boost. Felt ok so we are going out for a second run in about an hour.
This was our first outing this year. We had problems during warm-ups with the electronics. Took the Car back home to my garage for fix. Car is running now and We are heading for Malmö next Week. Malmö holds the first race in the Top doorslammer series.
Here is some pictures of my coldside made by Daniel Broman @ http://www.fraesarn.se/.
Daniel will construct your dreams and make them real. Daniel is also responsible for my intake.

We got our hotsides coated and mounted. Weird performance & Coatings did a excellent work.
