I’m sure I’ll run into him at the next Street Car Shoot Out. 1st weekend of the month at Cecil County. I’ll be there for June 1st.

Ok…

Another update.

Back to the mechanical pump. Tuner preferred it.

Ignite E85 fuel

Since I’m not class racing, I swapped out the 76 for a 91/102.

finishing up the cooling system, redoing a little bit of the electrical system, and figuring out how to mount the headlight covers…. I should have just left the headlight assemblies in the car, and removed the lights…. Sigh…

So, I’m selling the 76 in case anyone wants it…

lol… there is no better flip flop made on this planet. You deserve a pair…

Maybe you’re like the meme of the guy looking at a shirt for $30 saying it’s too much money when he just spend $3000 on car parts…

If I ever upgrade that's the turbo I'd get.

I won't let myself upgrade until I know I've maxed it out, and I haven't pushed it enough yet.

Pete what's the more convenient track for you, MIR or Cecil?

Tell you what…

I’ll trade engines. Intake to oil pan. I’ll include 2 sets of headers. And the S400 based 91/102, as well as the GT55 based 94/102

finally got out to the track yesterday.

got there late, naturally, as there is always more to do and never enough time.

only made one pass. Not very fast, but it was the first time the car has made a full pass with no drama since 2016.

And, because I have no idea what I’m doing, I had the internal logging set up wrong, so I have no idea how anything went…

next up… another test and tune.

Thanks. It’s all a process. I’m disappointed that I had the data log set up wrong, but I’m pretty happy with everything else.

Still hoping to get up to Scottie’s race in October.
