not quite, i have to get some fuses and some fusible links to get all of the electronics working....i blew them lol...except for the fuses they just werent there for whatever reason....anyway....i took the upper intake off and went to see if i was getting power to the injectors and the connectors just crumpled, so i have to get new plugs for them, plus new o-rings for them as well. then i will go from there.

anyone got any 14 inch tires they wanna donate???....or possibly a set of wheels with good tires on them they wanna trade?

P.S.- it ran on starting fluid!

We're shooting for the 500 to 600 hp range. Then you factor in that whole power to weight ratio thang

Anywho. Nice find Kory. You actually going to keep this one, or flip it like you said you were? You might want to hang on to that one

You wish it would be even.. If it was running perfectly you would be in the ballpark.

the 1500 I do cars for is at a minimum HALF what any shop would charge for a full paint job minus the door jambs and engine bay.( I do the jambs if desired) Just for everyones info that think the quotes I give them are stupid high. Not you Cory I am just sayin..

450 final offer

Talked to Long today and he has most of the little nick nack stuff ordered to finish the turbo install. Should be boosting by next week If I can get my apex seals and solid corners, the 4 port 13B bridge will be put together. I have new side seals and springs, new 3rd gen corner springs, new rotor and stationary bearings just waiting. I still haven't decided to use my 8.5 rotors, or the 9.4s. With the old streetport and 9.4s, running 14 psi, that thing was nasty fast. I'm not looking for a dyno queen, just a nasty pavement pouder.

Go with the 8.5's then. No sense in trying to boost a high comp rotor when you arn't going for MAX POWAH

2nd gear, open diff. Open the secondaries and rear end steps out, holding a right hand slide rather nicely. Grandma smiles, and shifts to third.

Who's grandmother can do that?

Well took my Mikuni apart today and to my surprise it has 200 main jets and 240 air jets, F9 e tubes and 62.5 idle air jets so thats good to say 10 psi or more and be safe. So this is so cool , me and Sam is going to get some 210s and 220s and maybe 230s for the mains. So BOOST is coming

5-600 i believe Tim is Josh's goal. As well as mine. Corner seals showed up from Atkins yesterday. The rest of their goodies will hopefully show Monday. Then it goes together.

Anyone want to go to a SCCA event at Road Atlanta with us on May 30 and 31st? Camping at the track Sat night. PDX, A good enduro race to watch and lots of other racing.
