Just some minor details, I noticed the IAT was not hooked up so I had to pull off the elbow and gonna have to drill a hole and find a grommet, of course it was not easy pulling off that elbow. I will work all night if necessary to get it street worthy, need to put some miles on the clutch for the dyno hopefully this weekend...C-ya there BadHawk...

I am also thrashing, just got the car running, but still need to hook up the waste gate, blow out and boost controller, Had to replace the fuel lines, need to get an alignment and now my alternator is charging but not making the complete circuit, No charge is going to the battery but the alt is putting out 13.5 volts so?

i finally got mine straight........after about 2 hours of hacking in the pits on the inside of my frame rail with a hammer and a cut off wheel my 29's fit good.......only got to make two passes friday night..........
forgetting i had the street tune in it which put me down 8* on the launch and 4* at WOT on timing i launched it at about 1500rpm and it ran a 1.41 60' carrying the fronts almost the 60' and went 10.30 @ 131.8...........put the race tune back in it and launched it at 3300 and blew the tires off........track was going away though........gonna get in one more weekend of testing and ill be ready to rip in BG...........nothing like last minute!!

I'll be there it looks like on Thursday and plan to check out the Corvette museum on Friday, maybe even pay the $7 and do the tour of the factory. That would be actually kind of cool if we got a group together for that.
Kyle,
If I knew your Formy was being such a ninny muggins, I would have worked some what harder to finish some more stuff on the 93 and let you take that up there. Guess it's to late now so you better do work and put some miles on the Formula.
I registered for Out Law as a silent protest against certain folks who year after year dash our hopes of seeing a 7 second slip.

Yup, did that last year too and it was great, An FYI to you all if you plan to buy a T-shirt. Get one or even two size larger, I wear large and bought a couple of large shirts only to get home and not be able to wear them, too small. What a bummer...

Lol, they don't do FEATURES on all of the cars! They DO try to include an action pic of just about every car there though. Maybe a small pic of you and your opponent side by side leaving the line.
