Rich had done tons of stuff to his car and it showed. He did not look fast but ended up beating people. Kenny seemed to be having an off night, but ran fine in losing efforts in the racing.
Some of you may know Dale Blankenship from the Maaco on Pembroke Ave. or elsewhere. He had not run the Langley 1 on 1's since back in the early 80's (when he won the championship). He won the A-main for the night (this was he first time since back in the 80's). But had a transmission mount fail and it slowed him enough that he lost in the season championship runs. I am pretty sure he would have won it had it not been for that. Just to give him some credit, Dale and his son have recently bought a first gen RX7 with the plans of autocrossing it.
Final 2 races were grudge matches with our guys. Shawn raced a Honda and the honda lost it and smacked the wall.. only problem was that Shawn lost it to and spun into the infield. Then Kenny raced Rich. I rememebr that it was very close, but damnit I can't remember who won..... Anyone else remember?

Not that bad, just lumpy idle and I need to install some new bushings.
I can do stir fry, or home made egg rolls/"Chinese" dumplings/curry.
And Kenny needs to get this hood out of my office

new dyno numbers, thanks for Chris' and Monty for the dual fuel pump install. This was done on a mustang dyno which is 10-15 % less than what you would normally get on a regular dyno. this run was done on 20lbs of boost.

LOL, cool. My wife took my daughter to that show Wednesday.
The wife wants to go to BG for a couple of hours today. I'm going to take the LOONG way and enjoy the drive.

Ok, I decide to adjust my idle just a tad to help get rid of the bouncy idle. I ground the TEN and GND in the diag box, raise the idle by 100rpms, it smooths out a bit. So I go to blip the throttle from inside voila! The check engine light is goin' nuts. Count the codes: 15 and 18.
15 = O2 sensor, 18 = TPS-narrow range. So I think those two items are possibly part of the idle issue, at least I'm sure the TPS after it's adjusted will help alot. And to top it all off, my pressure chamber isn't being pressurized. I pull off a hose and I get NADA, no swoosh of air. At least that's not major. I did a quick check and the hoses seem to be ok, I'm thinkin' it might be the check valve.
