I almost hit the wall at 100 plus last opening day, track temp was like 40°, though the year before was ok? I won't be ready.

How soon I get to the track depends on how soon my parts arrive at Ellis' garage. BTW, have you seen them yet Ellis? I'll bring my car up as soon as you have them.

What mods are you doing? Go fast type, or go faster cornering type, lol, or both?

Sounds good. If I get mine ready by then I will go also. We like Bremy, fast times are always had there; I think all my personal bests have been done there. We just need a little sun to heat up the track.

Lingenfelter GT2-3 Cam+springs+rods. It should add around 20 hp but primarily I chose the cam for its smooth power delivery over a very wide rpm range to give me another 1k usable rpm and thus more gear-flexibility when lapping. It should get me really close to the 12 second club at the drag strip.

Yeah, and that darn annual tech fee. I paid it last year just to run at SIR/PR a couple times. Hated it both times, the lines were so ridiculously long.

The cold temps are a problem. For me, it should be at least in the 50's with bright sun on the track. The last day at Bremy last year, it was in the 50's and overcast. I remember watching the lane tech trying to make VHT dry, but it was so cold it would not bite.

Hey Robert, So what did you do for an intake? For my winter mod, I ordered a billet end cap for the Wolfe swing out bar. They only sell in pairs, so you'll be getting one whenever it shows up.

Wow, those end caps are cool. Maybe that'll stop the elbow damage? Do you hit yours also, as I do quite a bit. Thanks ahead.

Here's the Vic Jr getting plumbed. These pics just show the fuel system being set-up. I used all SS polished fittings. Hopefully next week we can ship the intake to HSW as they are going to give a deal on some trick Direct Port Dry plumbing. Looking at a 95mm custom TB also, to replace the stock LS2 90mm. Changing a few other things like the fuel system which is done and tested. Will do a write up how-to for my web real soon. A pretty easy upgrade for anyone with basic hand tool knowledge, and can support up to 1000hp if set-up for that. Mine should be good for an easy 800.

You must be having modding withdrawals, lol?

Holy crap, that thing looks fast. You aint messing around now! Nah I don't need any mods, I'm good for now. At least until you hand me my *** at the track! Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to that new SFI bellhousing.

Yea, I would like to. As is, one side I need to shorten the rail as I can't even get a 90° to fit as it hits the firewall. If I can figure it out, we will do like the front rails. That's why I am trying to use full port ½ fittings at this time, as there are two seperate 3/8 lines from each pump coming in and a 1/2 crossover (not all the plumbing is showing). Ready for a new tune session? Also, I have a problem which i will call ya about tommorrow if time allows.

I wondered about them but that is what came with my kit. Not much room on the back cross-over line, so I'm stuck like Robert, but I'm thinkin of putting a 45 on the front going in....got one coming out to the regulator.
