Just 90 pump gas, oil changes after every time I sprayed, and bottle refills, T&T at the track, wideband, oh and some dyno time to retune it. Luckly I didn't have to buy a hood. Freight is brutal to get things up here. (video in sig for that story).

I had to get and finish a couple of things to get it past tech (there extremely picky). My battery switch didn't turn everything off and a neutral safety. Then set it up to run the class I was going to run (which was just adding the wiper motor and drivers side wiper mount), but never did run it since I was trying to get things dialed in better.

So mostly it's just been my time since I already had extra parts that I could use from my red bird.

I have never seen a hood come slam damn off the car on the big end. I had one fly up from a launch...lol.

Just curious why did you say you didnt have to buy a hood? That one looks like it got enough air to slap superman. I KNOW it was fubar when it landed.

Where the hell have you been man? working on your tan.

Mine's back up on jackstands too. I got my KUP water vaper system on and the oil cooler finished saturday night. Went for a test drive around EagleRiver. I have a hose leaking on the KUP, my oil temp gauge wasn't working and an oil leak on the oil cooler too. On the oil cooler, I'm not sure if I damaged a hose while I was putting the end on or if it's something else, like my oil temp sensor or something. I know what the culprit should be with the gauge. I will probably have to get a new hose for the KUP.

Once I get this stuff straight I'll order my engine diaper from mad man.
