omg finally had a semi good trip to the track
 
well the racecar has been back togeather for about a week now and i finally got it down the track in one piece had a best time of 11.53@118mph this was at 14lbs had some trouble with my hmt ball spring mbc seems someone had it apart and forgot to put the spring back in ::) luckly Josh was able to find someone with a clicky style pen(thanks josh's friend) but unfortunatly the spring didnt have quite the tension need to reach 18-20lbs and some retunning is inorder since the new intercooler is flowing a bit more air and the are a few dead spot in the top end.

when will you break down and buy a hallman pro MBC to go along with that nice fancy one piece fiberglass hood?

Nice Beau. Think you can get a high 10 second pass in running at full boost? I think you might be able to get there if you don't run into any problems.

i think another trip to the dyno will yeild mid 400 hp and that should push me into low 11's maybe high 10's plus im sure there is a ---- load of room for chassy tuning i can do.

hey I saw you down there. I had three of those sprins in my car. I just got them from homedepot about a month ago and never finish the diy mbc. I saw Josh too, but he never mentioned anything about that, or I would have gave you one. I guess next time ill stop by and say whats up. 98ctr
