Default Post----Mexican Mile/Dyno event.

Well there was a great turnout for sure. And as expected there will be the usual vag awards being handed out.

I will accept my vag award that was forced on me because of an apparent fuel pump issue but I did try... I still think she had enough muscle to take care of detroit muscle.

Oh yes special thanks Keith over at Keiths pit stop for being very helpful and giving me some extra pulls and Jeremy F from www.fasterproms.net For taking a minute of his time to diagnose my fuel pressure issue. And yep Rick Kim from RKT56 for keeping some good stuff in my stomach. Dam those hot dogs where long...

Awesome day. Glad my car decided to inch past that 575 mark that I could never get by.

The Flip Drive made a HUGE difference. I'll be driving it like this for awhile, I know everyone says put a D1 on her, but that little P1 is spunky on the lower RPMS and is getting the job done. 615/525 pushing 13# of boost. She's good for now. I know if I go ANY further it will need a bigger fuel system and a better clutch. So I am goin to drive it and enjoy it for awhile.

Good pull w/ Jay in the FRC on the MM. We were probally the most evenly matched cars there tonight.

First pull Jay missed 3rd,
Second pull, good start from a rolling 50mph, 3rd my car got alittle loose in the ***, cracked 4th and was a good car length ahead and kept pulling away.

I'll get a video up tommorow hopefully.

Lack of fuel and the wanting to get in on the fun would have probably lead to some serious problems. I figured it was better to tuck the tail in and accept my vag award then to need a new build...

Nice numbers, although with 13# and your build I was hoping you'd been in the low 700's.
