I was at my local podunk Sunoco station and saw they converted the kerosene pump to GT100, but $6.25/gal seems a bit excessive - is that normal?

BTW - if all my vendors come through next week, I will pay and add myself to the list. Still trying to make this event .

Hey Raj, do you have an aftermarket tq converter in your car ?

What rpm are you ~30mph when you launch ?

Sharif just drove my car last week and has yours at his shop now. Unfortunately he has all the info I am about to send him an email and bribe him first, lol.

Last time I filled up with 100 ( a few months ago ) I paid $7.95/gal.

Sounds cheap to me actually

Yes, I've tried two now. The one I have now (~3100 rpms) is actually a slightly lower stall than my original GTM one (~3500 rpms). It won't be any slower though from a rolll... read on.

At 30 mph, I'd be at... whatever value I set for the Haltech aux rev limiter !!! I finally gotten around to implementing Haltech launch control for the 5AT. It's not installed in my car currently as I was having a problem, but I found the wiring fault. No rocket science, just a nice fast reed relay that activates the aux rev limiter at the same time it transfers the brake stop switch output so that it removes the input to the ECU and can be used to release the aux rev limiter at the same time. Bottom line, you activate the launch control switch, depress the brake and floor the throttle. RPMs sit wherever you specified (say 4k rpms). When you release the brake, the rev limiter also releases. I need my car back to practice!!!

Awesome. Sounds like a monster. I tried to do recon on your car last weekend but I was distracted by the engine building leprachaun which lives in the shed/pod I will report back when I return from open house on May 2nd

Sharif, After reading what dash is bringing to the party,... I'm still coming over but my car stays in the parking lot. I'm driving your GTR after reading all this fancy auto launch magic stuff. You can ride in the flying lawnmower and document all the fun from above,...

My moneys on Raj....The 5AT will reign supreme again, even against Sharifs GTR, unless Sharif sabotages Rajs car by having Scott come and work on it.

Caesar would never allow Scott in thru the front door or the side gate. That's what is so funny about Forged Performance that people have yet to realize,.... You are only accepted as a customer if you make it past Caesar,... LOL at Caesar chasing Scott out the front door back towards I-75.

I am actually going to tighten up my oil filter by hand before we run this time.

By the way I hear race fuel will NOT be available. Which suits me just fine. You shouldn't be pushing that motor and turbo at high boost anyway Mike. No worries, I'm sure you'll do fine at 15 psi.

Coach, come on up for a few days. This event is thrilling. You will love it.

What Raj doesn't know, is that I installed a poison pill in his tune. It's wirelessly activiated by my iPhone. If Raj pulls, away from me...I hit one button and the "misfire routine" kicks in. Oh, I also have some quick release intercooler couplers, that I can activate as well...stops him dead in his tracks. I have a lot of tricks up my sleeves, fellas. Godzilla is hard to beat!

"Quick release intercooler couplers",...

Raj, its worse than I originally thought. The only one we can trust now is Caesar, lets bribe Caesar and steal that cobb access thing that makes the GTR go fast, then we have a chance. Sharif will stop at nothing to win, no one is safe, lol.

I don't know. Ceasar kicked my boy in the nutz. I was negotiating my invoice at the time with Sharif. Couldn't have been a coincidence. I think Sharif has control over him too.
