I think I might go and spectate also. What is parking like down there, I have only been to capitol and really don't want to walk a couple miles to get to the track like I have to do at pro events.

alberto, too bad your car isn't cooperating because you would have impressed some of the domestic people with 10 sec runs.

yeah, I'm counting down until March and i can't wait for next season myself. Over the winter break, i'm upgrading to a UTEC, 550 cc injectors, and 9 psi pulley hoping to go from 380 to 400-410 whp or so. Taking it easy on the launch and transmission I shouldn't break anything and run low 12's, but i have my fingers crossed for the drivetrain. If you aren't going to capitol anymore, let me know where and when you are racing so i can see how the new setup goes for you.

I'll likely head back to Mason Dixon near Hagerstown, thats like 1:30min from you. Or to Cecil which is like 1:30 from me and 1 hour from you. MIR is about 45 minutes from you and further for me, I havent run there besides the track day we had...we'll def get together. BTW-whos doing your tuning?

I'll probably take it down to AAM for tuning. It's the only place that I know of close by and Forged is way too far. AAM did the ecu flash for me and that went well, so I'll probably install the injectors, hook up the utec myself and later have them do the tuning. Then I can finally rev past 6000 rpm and enjoy the boost.

Whatever you do, DO NOT raise, or let anybody raise your rev-limiter. Its better to hit the 6600rpm limiter than raise it and not hit it....
