Congrat's, Ben. Keep us posted. You'll be flying out of Grissom, right?

Thanks Scott! You are correct that Grissom is my base.

My flight isn't until tonight. I'll try to get some pics.

Congrats Ben, and best of luck! I'm jealous.

If you don't have a home builder picked out yet, make sure you talk with me before you do.

And as far as me vs Blake goes, Blake doesn't stand a chance That is if I ever stop tearing the car apart

I sold the entire turbo kit and cooling system on my car along with part of the fuel system. Going with a different layout and twin a2w intercoolers under the headlights with a big heat exchanger and big ice/water tank. Also switching to pure ethanol, low impedence injectors, sumped tank, dual external fuel pumps, with the intentions of being able to fit and run AC and power steering

Geeze Nick. Haven't kept total track of your changeups but from what I have counted this is at least number 3!

At this moment I don't have a home builder picked out for sure, just one or two in mind, so I will take you up on your offer as we will be shopping around for the builder before one is decided on.

As for the flight, it ended up getting cancelled (just got back from the plane). There are some crazy amounts of lightening and storms with no sign of letting up. I think my next flight is scheduled for Tuesday, so I'll try to post up then. Didn't get any pictures. I was too busy doing the preflight, and then once lightening was reported within 5 miles of the airfield, we got out quickly (being inside a flying gas tank on the ground.)

Thanks. Do you live next to Matt Harris? I work with him and he was telling me about a neighbor with a cam only TA running 11.70s. I thought it might be you.

I could never do that job. Too many switches that I'd want to flip.

Exhaust version 4.0 is now on. Mufflex 4" catback with Magnaflow muffler. Out of the box, it fit like $hit. Bill did a great job "massaging" it and it looks great. Way too much modification needed for a $600 catback that's just a bunch of pre-bent pipe and a muffler. Much quieter, but still pretty aggressive. Biggest thing for me was quieting it down when cruising. Much, much better now. Frost is in town and we'll be doing the dual flash PCM and IAT relocate as well as verify my NA tune with the new fuel system. Dyno on Friday @ CJ in Auburn. Gonna jet it for 200 and let it eat.

Scott. Lets see the numbers!

Well, the max we saw was 680/700. I had hoped for more, but I forgot that I'd lose a bunch of power when the 12* of timing was taken out of the NA tune. I was thinking 520 plus 225 equals 745. Nope. We did a NA pass with the timing out of it and it only made 450. Add the 225 and you get 680. We did a couple pulls on the street and it feels stupid fast. From a 35 kick (second gear), it just hooks and goes. Steve really knows his stuff. I did lose some power with the catback. It dyno'ed right at 500. Steve thought if we chased the number, he could get 8-10 more, but it's not really that big of a deal to me. I'll let the 1/4 mile numbers do the talking. Planning on going to the rental next Wednesday. Weak link is the trans now. Converter held just fine, even locked on the dyno. Haven't decided if I'll lock it on the street. It'd be worth a couple mph, but no et. Good for street races, I guess. Steve says no. We'll probably try it tonight and see how it feels. I'll be out, but need to fill my bottle.

Good numbers Scott. Hopefully that thing knocks down the 9s finally.

I just picked up a new toy. Millermatic 135 MIG. Likely going to have an ESAB TIG headed my way shortly too. Now I just need to get good at both.

I totally agree with Scott, that Frost is an excellent tuner! It's night and day difference than the last person who tuned my car. Drivability is amazing from Frost and he is really picky! Now I'm up to 440 hp and 391 tq, which is up 12 hp and 9 tq from the last tuner and it drives awesome too!

just came back from muncie, seen a couple nasty cars. didn't get to check them out to good, but did find out the blue fire chicken had a 114mm turbo on it. awesome. ran low low 8's, and the turboed camaro was running high 7's. i believe the firebird was the ohio boys, not for sure though.
