well congrats man, what tranny are you using? doesn't seem like you're consistent enough (no offense) to be rocking a stalled auto. Also in that first video you posted of the finals it sounded like a multi-gear burnout.

Thanks Scott. How are ya? Shocks are just ordinary Koni yellows. I just need to tweak it a bit more and play with air pressure in the tires. Still cutting 1.4 60's so its not far off.

Ernie, how long does your engines last or do u fresh'n up every season? Been following you awhile and aside for when your pushing for more power, they seem to go a while for ya. And do you street drive it much? Nice runs...I attend the IFO down south here

Knock on wood, I think Ray has found me a pretty good setup. This motor is 1.5yrs old and still has perfect compression. Ray has a good combo of clearancing, balancing, stock corner seals, and 3mm one piece NRS apex seals.

Hey Ernie, what kind of compression numbers do you make with the 1-piece seals? Do you have any desire to switch out to a 2-piece ceramic in the future for sealing, or are you happy with them?

Don't remember what Ray said they were to be honest. I just remember him saying they were the exact same as when we cranked it up the first time. And no I like the one piece. All the PR cars that run high hp meth cars all run the one piece. I'll stick with what i know works.

Its July 25, next Sunday. But no, I'll be at the beach with a bunch of friends for a golf weekend. There's another NSCRA race at MIR in Sept. though and I'll be there for that one.

Thanks, but no traction issues. Just lower the tire pressure a bit more 
Guys are making alot more power then me and can hook. Im just a little fish compared to the guys at the pan ams. It was very cool to win the true street class though. Took out a few supras along the way too 
Here is the video of the finals.
