I am running Vic JR with a Aarron's Elbow. Cam is a Virginia Speed VTC2 cam I had it in my 347 It is a little on the small side for this bigger motor but it works great. I think it is around 232 228 I would have to go find the cam card to be sure

Quick little update. I haven't touched or even seen my car in over a month(it is hibernating at my parents house) but 1fastbird did the finished making the modification to my fuel tank today. So hopefully in the next month I can work on getting the fuel system on the car, hooking the Meth system up, installing the 3 bar map and addressing a few other minot problems.


I have also decided that I am going to attend the LSx even in Gerogia in the end of May and maybe the LSX shoot out in October depending how the year goes. I am getting excited for the start of race season

No OC for me in the spring. I think most everyone from our group has decided against the spring trip due to how over crowded last year was

Good to see you are still alive. Been a while since I have heard an update. I finally got the last few bugs worked out on my car this past week, been battling a pesky misfire that turned out to be a spark plug wire. Got the eboost2 working and turned the boost up to 12 psi. Took it out and made a few pulls and I must say, it feels good to finally get to enjoy it. Are you getting ready to up the boost? The 8.79 was on 14psi, right?

Thanks yeah it has just been too cold up here and I am working on building my garage at my house this winter.

That 8.79 pass was about 15 psi. but yes the plan is to install a 3 bar map and turn the boost up to 18ish and see where that gets me

Yes the plan is to run either the 8.5 or 9.0 index just depends if I want to push the car hard in the heat might be easier just to slow it down.

I also want to run the True street as well.

Yes still running E85

Car sounds and looks great. Watching your videos makes me really miss the high gear pull of a turbo car, hopefully I'll be out real soon feeling it again.

Thanks. I am getting the itch to drive it again. My truck is starting to feel fast at times. I need to make it feel slow again

On anther note here is my dyno graph from October. Anyone have any ideas on what would have made the car lay over like that. You could even feel and hear it lay over. I did after being on the dyno find that the ground on the back of the drivers head was loose(I had noticed the tach jumping around) It did run 8.79 like this so it is making power and I need to get it back on the dyno and see if it is still acting up but haven't had a chance

Well quick update. I did stop by my parents house and checked on the car. (I needed my Hp tunners interface from the car) I fired it up and let it run for awhile. It was good to hear it run makes me itch to get back to racing.

I hace started gathering some parts. I ordered some fresh tire and Turbo blanket.




I am also made a big upgrade in the trailer department. I sold my Open 18ft trailer and bought a 24ft enclosed Haul Mark




I have also been busy working on converting my car port into a garage at my house. Will be nice when it is finished. 37'x16'
