2 things.....Dedication.......failing,can't, and impossible are not in my vocabulary. Shawn knows me well enough he can tell you alittle something. This is how I am hardcoded and is how I try to do everything in life.

You know what they say, when the going gets tough the tough get going. I have some friends who have a little transmission problem or a methanol controller issues and they want to sell everything, part it out or trade it. It really pisses me off because I spend a lot of time working on their ****. Keep up the good work Phil, I love the DIY thread.

Not a single successful person I have ever met did not have a high degree of "performance anxiety". Fear of failure. Regardless of what they're doing - racing, business, golf, etc. That and problem solving skills is what makes people successful. It's the old like about 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.

Phil has that and mad skills by the bucket load.

Anyone who knows Phil has to be envious of his high energy level. I know I am.

I made some great progress this morning. Got alot of things buttoned up and got the car fired up and put it on the transbrake 3 times today. Car comes up on boost very nice, A/F is perfect without any tuning, EGTs are a very tight spread.

We ran into a problem today, our car is setup to be legal for a majority of the races but this weekend they have us with a 100# handicap so we I've got to add a bunch of weight or offer rides this weekend.

If nothing changes we'll race this weekend at 3100, if we can keep the nose down and work from our 4.70 tune, getting the 60' to come around will get us down to a 4.60, the 2xx# we lost should be worth .05. I'd love to see a mid 5x this weekend we can get the car from A to B and keep it off the bumper. I backed the tune down in the AMS and the BS3 to compensate for the lighter race weight but left the power management the same. I'll post pics shortly.

Was I the only person that read this? Another 75#? Sweet Jesus! Keep pluggin away Phil, it'll break hearts when it comes out!

We need to be 2950..... I'm tired of hearing people say they can't make mininum weight, there are plenty of spots you can pull metal from in ANY car. With a 25.2 chassis, all you really need is a body around it.

Also got the spoiler correctly adjusted, last year I had it all phucked up. I'm going to scale the car tonight and get it to 3000 on a 1/4 tank of fuel and go through and check all the nuts and bolts.

Slowly getting ready...Got it on the scales last night and had to add a phuckin ton of weight for this weekend, the front bias is right where we left it last year but we're couple hundred lighter. Working on the paint now. Got the trunk clay bar'd, working on the rest.
