Small delay (chassis) My car has been running NA for almost two weeks but my new torque arm won't work with my 9", so the chassis place is modifying their torque arm to work with the non-stock location of the Moser 9".
I will pick up the car early next week and move it to SS Racing (Chris Sikora), so he can make the YS trim blower brackets, the tensioner, and the intercooler piping for the air/air intercooler. We will also be installing the Weldon 2025, regulator, Siemens 83 lb'ers, SS Racing fuel rails, and the TSI pcm piggback controller at the same time.
I have decided to buy a drum of 110 unleaded and use that for the season. Between me using and and giving some out to buddies, it should last the balance of the year.
I wish I could say we were done and the car was running on blower but it's these little setbacks that screw up a week at a time. You don't want to to know what I have paid in next day chargers in the last 40 days.

Re: Small delay (chassis) John anytime you put together a combo this stuff always pops up.Im putting my 3rd combo together now and have learned more about being patient than any other experiences in my life.Its all worth it though when you get to enjoy the finished product. 
Re: Small delay (chassis) My car has been worked on more then it has been running since i went FI. I chringe when i think of how much ive spent, think every one here does.

Re: Small delay (chassis) 
It happens. Such a monster-in-progress demands patience and the right moves.It's cool that you are keeping us up to date about stuff... we all are anxious to see how it pans out.
But, we have no doubt you will get there!

changed your mind again. those 422 sprayed are nice, i know that gold TA with the 442 c5r black at the n vrs s shoot out kicked butt, you might give him some competition.
is this going to be a street car, or you just going to use it for the track?

Re: Small delay (chassis) Car should run 8.9-9.10 according to Wade&Barry at ARE.Track only,major weight reduction HUGE solid roller.Dont think the turbo would meet my goals.After spectating at BG it was obvious if you want to go real fast you need a jug.

Re: Small delay (chassis) no, you dont need a jug to go fast it is just only one option to go fast.
Give harlan a little bit of time to get his ride figured out and i'm sure you'll be seeing huge MPH from him as well
there are many ways to skin a cat, it just so happens that skinning that cat with nitrous seems to be the fastest/reliable way to do it

Re: Small delay (chassis) If you look at the fastest Fbodies right now, the're all using nitrous.
Its true that everyone is still dialing in their FI, but it seems these engines take nitrous better then FI, least its a lot easier to work with and make good power. Sometime i wonder what would have happened if i would have gone that way.

Re: Small delay (chassis) You can always put a big enough shot on your car to run the ultimate on the strip.
That's not the point, to me.
I can run my car with pump gas on the street and never fill a bottle. Then I can go to the strip and still have the chance to run the quarter in the low 11's or the hi-10's.
I call that a significant achievement!
Spraying just seems like cheating to so many people. It's not about how much you've built your motor or what power you've bolted on, anymore. It's about how much explosive laughing gas you are willing to shoot into your motor.
On the street, when someone wins with the spray, their win is somehow diminished when people find out.
"Oh, he was using the spray." 
That's not the point, to me.

It took the stang guys some time to work out their FI setups as well and we know how fast those turbo'd/blown motors are going
