Got the headers done this morning, bungs are in and completely welded, we'll put everything back together tomorrow. Shawn sent up his racepak v300 so we can log the EGTs, also got some new injectors coming next week to see if we can make some more hp.

Got a bunch of small crap done today.
- Changed the engine oil
- Changed the tranny fluid
- Finished/installed the headers
- Finished the cage around the fuel cell
- Mounted fuel cell/insulated & ran all the lines
- Mounted the racepak v300
- installed downpipe
I think all I need to do is the final checks and wire the racepak.
Racepak v300 mounted, Will monitor RPM, Driveshaft RPM, Torque converter slippage, acceleration, EGT per cylinder
Chromoly mounting tab
Driver side header
Closeup Driver side header clearance
Dumped a few pounds with the fuel cell
Passenger side header

We've got 2 races this week, 1/8 mile friday, 1/4 mile saturday. I think I figured out how to go 1.1x 60's looking at the data. If we can go 4.61 or faster to the 1/8 we're going to lean on it to try and run a 6.9x. Right now the tune is very soft.

I think its too soon for that kind of performance but you never know. Kurt Urban has been 6.86 @ 205 in a pro-stock style car with twin turbos. Paul has been 7.2x @ 205 in outlaw radial with twin turbos. I am trying to do it on a single turbo. Three cars have been 6.9s on radials, all have twin turbos.

Yes. The car has more than enough power to go 4.40s its all in how you manage it. These cars make soo much power its easy to get out in the weeds with the tuneup. If you listen to the car it will tell you where it needs power. We've got 4 spots to add power and those 4 spots are worth about .30 tenths maybe more when you add them up. At this point its a matter of getting a clean hit with the right numbers in the right spot.
