Photo time...Pics are from a photoshoot with a professional photographer from UNCC. His red supra is a beast too, ran a 11.4 sec 1/4 at 123mph on his previous (smaller) turbo...needless to say we didn't race lol. It's too bad my big nasty fmic wasn't installed by then

Thanks man. If anyone is interested in doing a photoshoot with this guy, his website is http://www.wix.com/aemravan/rga-photography . We shot for practically 6-7 hours and took more than 600 shots, these are only a few of the many good pics he took. He does group pics too

It only holds charge for about an hour, so an hour of video. I bought a 4GB
miniSDHC SanDisk card at wally mart for $14.99 cause I figure it won't need
much more than that. That 8 minute video AVI was about 500MB in size when
I pulled it off the camera. So I figure anything larger than about 3.5GB is overkill.

ok so im at a loss. car ran great earlier, now you can drive it and make a few good pulls with it and then it starts poppin and bucking and backfiring. i got an s4 resistor pack for my secondary injectors i installed, could the injectors be overheating and locking up? when it decides to start doing this the check engine light comes on and stays on. i ran the codes and the only thing i can find that could cause this is the map sensor. but if you give it about 15 minutes and let the car cool a bit it will drive fine for a few minutes and then start the issue again. HELP!

That sounds similar to the problem I was having with my car, once it warmed up it would run awful and start hesitating and bucking. What I ended up doing was rewiring my fuel pump to recieve 12v constantly and running my oxygen to the wideband to get a more clear signal and the problem vanished. I would start with the fuel pump rewire though and see if that makes any difference. If you do you'll notice a richer idle, but besides that the computer will compensate for the extra fuel pressure since the fuel pump will constantly be at full power.

Let us know how it goes...
