Believe me, I have been pushing every angle possible. Its looking like it will all come down to the tuning (no pressure Dave). If Dave gives me the car, I will be there (with no plan or reservation, but I'm sure I can figure it out). I was thinking I would enter the show at ZdayZ as well.

Of course that will leave me about 2 days to re-learn how to drive a car I haven't driven in 6 months that now has appx triple the HP

Got a little something going on right now. Frank has his Superman cape on and is busting it like a champ right now to see if we can get the car ready for the airstrip event. I decided to stay away this time and just let him work in peace.

We hit a small snag yesterday when Frank was installing my new radiator, he caught a nipple ring on it as he stood up and ripped it out - OUCH - glad I wasn't there for that.

My sh1tbox is almost back together now - a big update and many pics coming later tonight when I have time. Also got some great news from my man Dave at Headgames.

Take my advice for what its worth-put AT LEAST 2000 miles on the motor before repeatedly ragging it at the airstrip/highway whatever.

Get the metals out of the motor, run 2-3 sessions of dino oil in it and get the oil analyzed every change from Blackstone, there is always next year. Plus you wont want to go to an event like that not being 100% used to the car, its power, traction (or lack of) and shifting it fast.

Hopefully see you on Sunday!!!

Hey Chris,

Just a reminder, make sure you get one more relay so that you use one for each Walbro. Even then they will get very warm. The Walbro's pull alot of current.

No, Frank explained it to me, but that was over my head a bit.
