Default Just Can't Win

Seems like everything has went wrong so far this year with the car. First I order the cog set up and had to wait forever on them to be made and then had to design a way for them to work,then I ordered a steel mounting bracket for the procharger that took 5 weeks to get,then supercharger had a problem which ATI said would be fixed and shipped on 4-20-04 which it wasn't,was shipped on 4-26-04 but to someone else and I got thiers, told on tuesday this week about the shipping mess up and that owner of the blower I had was driving from St Louis to Dayton to swap me superchargers but got a overnight shipping label from ATI to send his supercharger to him and he will ship mine to me. So I don't know where my supercharger is right now. Just seems I have the best luck with this car. Just hope all the hard work pays off in the end. Sorry just needed to vent a little.

Sorry to hear that tom, seems like we are all going through issues........

I have a P1336 code that won't clear at all with a Tech II, so thats a problem.....thats the crank variation relearn BULLLLLLLLlshittttttttttt

I also noticed that my crank pulley is moving again, so I probably will need to get the pulleys to stay together, from the looks of it where I marked the bolt the crank bolt hasn't moved at all, but the pins aren't sitting flush w/the "shark fins" in the balancer anymore.....

Thanks guys. Guess I got use to running the car a couple times a week and now in the past two years it acts like it's affraid to go to the track. Heck I made 294 passes the first two years I had the car, and that was only the track passes which don't include the 100 + g-tech passes I made on the street.
BOS I read about the crank pulley moving, maybe we should have went with the bolt together crank pulley set-up.
