I'll be in Florida for a couple graduations......all these damn nieces and nephews are getting expensive :hammer:

[Mark #2]

I plan to be there, with the new Terry base tune to get some data.
We will see how it runs at street boost levels, not upping the boost or putting a race tune in it yet. Kind of starting over.

[PUMP]

I finished the KB 2.3 install as well as EGR delete. Running the Cold tune tonight, it is on the rich side with temperatur at 74. With an 8.5" lower and 3.25" upper, I only had a 69" belt, and I was getting some slipping. I think I need a 68.5" belt. Terry said that he had one, so if I get that and with some tuning tweeking I think I'll be ready by Friday. I plan on going to Denton to see how it runs.:nana2:nana2:nana2

[Fuzion]

Might come out to watch.

Went racing this past Friday and then again today and yea.... 8.8s are no fun. I ran faster before the Whipple.

Holy Chit

[BC Lightning]

Holy Chit


tell me about it, Its been roughly 15,000 miles since my last fluid and filter change and when he drained the fluid it came out black and smelt burned

[L8 APEX]

We'll cut the converter open and check it out. Those Art Carrs have not held built engines well. It probably wasn't your fault. Both LFP and I have discontinued using Art Carr a while back. Everyone used them because they were the cheapest at 450-500 bucks. Back then nobody wanted to pay 11-1200 bucks for a PI.. The Art Carr triple is a good unit I have never smoked one. The failures are from singles. They shipped us singles in lieu of the triples we ordered. They said they were out of triple covers/parts so they sent singles instead, WTF! They warrantied a couple and replaced them with triples but that has stopped. So LFP has a local shop build his and I only use PI now. I have spent a fortune cleaning up Art Carr's mess:flaming:. You PI was ordered this morning.

you answered my question:D

[kirkmears]

Count me in:tu: I'm gonna use the L to pull the Impala (http://kirkmears.com) out there...last few times I've gone, something crapped out (hardware failure or user error):rolleyes: I'm anxious to see what it's going to do this time around. :burnout:

[tiffo60]

It looks like there weather is going to be clear for today, so should make for a good track night:banana:

[L8 APEX]

Someone better check with the track to make sure they didn't have a mud slide or standing water. It damned sure washed the traction away.

[TXLIGHTNING]

Damn, I wish these tracks were not so far away from me. I wish they would open Hallsville track back up.

[tiffo60]

i called and there going to be open, and there having pro-mods tomorrow so track should be prepped real well tonight in preparation for pro mods on sat:D

[L8 APEX]

I think the humidity will kill times tonight it shows to be a high of 87 which will light up all of the rain water.... Waste of time to run in high humidity.

[kirkmears]

i'm about to load up and head out shortly...;)

[tiffo60]

im leaving in 5minutes

[Mark #2]

I started to head that way and traffic was stopped on 75N/190, didn't feel like dealing with it.

[L8 APEX]

Yeah, the traffic and 65% humidity on a 85 degree day= go home and start drinking.:beer:

Went and got a hair cut instead, first one this year, mullet is gone.
Cable is out. Time Warner sucks, it was never down in 15 years when it was Comcast, not once. TWC is down all the time, have internet but no TV.

[L8 APEX]

I live on rabbit ears 4,5,8 for me:tex at least they broadcast HD. Let me know if you see a LED DLP laying around with my name on it;). I got a hair cut today as well, every 3-4 weeks for me. Though I threaten to shave it when schedules conflict.

[Ohmsby]

Track prep was good I just did not have any connection to my truck tonight. The truck ran really well but I just could not get those slicks hot enough in the box

Humidity was killing the ET's but I am happy to report that the L crowd tonight was far and away the fastest crowd that did not arrive via race trailer



Made one pass in the sevens the humidity was brutal had good company and overall a good time

:tu: for the Den ton track

[kirkmears]
