I'm the wrong one to bait into this argument.

I prefer to drive a standard, and I'm not terrible at it.

If I were building a drag car there is no question at all. I'd have an auto.

Did you figure out where the oil leak is coming from Hilton? Can't really tell in the pic, but it looks a lil wet on the crank there.

I'm REASONABLY sure that the rear main seal is the culprit.

Take a look:

Look how much oil is over on the passenger side over by the starter.

I'm assuming it was slung up from the rear main seal to the bell housing, then ran down to that area.



Here is the flywheel. Anyone recognize it? It's not aluminum, but it is lightweight. I need to know if it will work with a Mcleod RST

Took a test drive tonight. Everything seems to be working and no fluids are gushing out, yet. Didn't go past half throttle but that thing has some power, and the fuel trims looked great even with minor preliminary, mostly stock tuning. The speedo and tach gauges are off though.

Looks like I found some MT ETs someone's gonna let me finish off at the track. Hopefully they'll grip from a boost launch. The rims and tires are 18s with a little life left in em.

Why you say that? Boys are pretty easy but they are like girls up until at least 5 years old. Girls are cake, it's not hard pleasing a woman.

Andy, I think you are going to like the ms3.

Todd, do you think it is odd that we saw solid 14.5s while cruising and 12.5s while in PE? Seems almost too good to be true with a stock VE table. We were running closed bloop with the MAF disconnected.

I blew off a section of charge pipe tonight making adjustments with Todd. We walked I20 for an hour, but couldn't find it. I'm gonna go to Lites tomorrow and see if they can fab up a piece. That will depend on whether or not I make it to the track. I'm gonna get fresh couplers and v band clamps.

Cause I know I would be more attached to the girl and not want her to leave. The boy needs to get out on his own lol.

I'm also on 318 and I'll be at the track this weekend as well. I'm sure I'll see you there.

Very nice. However, I bet you the O2s were doing some corrections for you. What did your LTFTs look like? When I tune in SD, I turn off the maf and make it so the STFTs and LTFTs are disabled. Then calibrate the computer. Once that's done, turn the STFTs and LTFTs back on.....or at least just the LTFTs.

Yep, loads of fun! LOL! Hope you're able to get something made today.
