Already ladies and gentleman.....what is up everybodies sleeve.
My big mods are Bob's log header and quarterhorse and the binary editor software. Retune the car, Im going to practice my launches....I need some high 1.6. I was thinking about some 95lb injectors and retune for E85 during the summer. My old tired engine seems to be doing great.
I have been driving it around for the last 3 weeks, put almost 700miles on her. Looking good with the cobra r's on it.

I'm moving. The sooner I can, the better for my chances of getting the TC down the strip. I've got a nice shelf of parts: .48 T3, ported E6, Porsche 944 IC, Stinger 3" DP, with a full 3" Stinger system soon to come and some IC piping. These will likely be ALL that I'll purchase as far as performance goes. Anything else I purchase will be cosmetic exterior/interior pieces.

Man I hope we get to move soon. I so badly want to get the TC to the track for some more runs before I put on some of my goodies.... I really need to start putting some of these things on the car before my wish list gets too out of control.....
On another note - looks to be a quiet drag racing year this year. Nobody is doing much or its all a secret
