This weekend looks really good. This will be the 1st weekend that we'll actually using a boost controller. The SS will go back on the dyno for some short tuning for 17-19lbs of boost. We'll see if we can't get our 1,000rwhp dyno sheet All the other runs have been on waste gates (8lbs). Looking for our 1st 8 second pass. We'll see.

Eastside must have liked the Eric's car so much, they kept it

Don't have a passenger seat - yet . I have driven it on the street more than a couple times. Not to bad. Been lucky, no cops around at that time. I do get looks with the cute and wheelie bars

The pharmaceutical industry is doing it's best for my withdrawals, but nothing can replace the fix of racing

Eastside is in the final stages and had a lot of repairs to make. The car got a few upgrades while in their capable hands that include new lightweight front brakes, master cylinder, brake lines and a painless wiring system. Madman supplied a new set of tires for the hook department and Nitro Dave is finishing up the plumbing on the NX supplied direct port. The 2 systems now consist of the custom plumbed spray bars mounted inside the plenum (courtesy of Ricky at NX) and the DP.

If all goes well, Ken will be able to do the tuning on the car next week and then we'll meet at a track for the final touches.

There's still a bit left to be done so when I say he'll be tuning next week doesn't mean that's when I'll be making passes.

Eastside has done this in less than 1/3 of the time than the last time it was worked on so to say I'm pleased is an understatement.

Very nice Eric. I wish you the best of luck with this build - hopefully the last one for a very long time. Going fast sure is expensive - and that's after your build is complete.
