I'll be there with a well tuned BMF for certain.

If the next two days go well I just may be packing a 25-50hp wet shot through the Radix, too.

I've heard that a small amount of spray will really cool down the air coming into the blower significantly upping the boost. Just what I heard............

Post Wh*re, I'll be out at Bremerton for sure Friday and I'll be with my DV cam to record some of your runs, just make sure you find me(lol how can I miss the H2), because I think I will run too. Is a small camera and nothing great, but is easy to use and picture quality is good. Also I can download the videos to computer in a few minutes and it does have a zoom to see the times as the end.

Hey corey, question for ya... when I had a thunderbird SC everyone was concerned with putting the nitrous before the blower, not just because it was before the IAT Sensor and throw that way off, but to put the cold nitrous through a hot blower case. any concern of warpage due to the sudden temp change?

Its not looking so good for me to have my car up and running by Sep 30th. My rear end is being mailed out NLT monday, and it'll take 5-7 days to get it here (ground mail). Then another 1 to 2 days to get it in. That will be early October.

I'll at least be out to watch the 23rd and/or 30th.

And if PR allows us to race on the 28th, then I'll be able to race then.......God willing!!!!!
