FUBAR'd the MSD-6BTM... Still waiting on the RMA. Looks like that is it for this year. Going to work on building a 355 Forged setup over the winter. Goals are 16-20psi w/pump gas & meth. 9's mabey 8's. 125 Trap is good enough for high 10's, just need some new nittos.

Got a multi-layer fire jacket on Sat, fixed the drivers side window and a few other things. Car was running on the verge of overheating the whole way to the track, gotta get that resolved.
First Pass was: .291 R/T,1.885, 5.012, 7.556 @96.92, 9.732, 11.571@123.07
Second Pass was: .120 R/T, 1.840, 5.023, 7.558@97.57, 9.705, 11.526@125.09
93 Octane pump. Boost started to creep above 8psi, last run was knock free, not sure about the first one though. Car moves out fn quick!

Fixed a few of the small problems.... Passenger side headlight is fixed, it takes forever to get that lined up. Moved the XD-16 to the gauge pod, fixed a wiring issue. Going to output the AFR from the LC-1 to TTS DataMaster for logging. I think I am going to use the EGR sensor wire for input into the factory PCM. Laptop is all set to go for logging. DS Safety loop was put on like 2 weeks ago. MSD BTM-6 needs to have a vacuum line run, and I need to wire in the EWP with a light to notify me if it fails. Need to take it out for a spin, mabey tonight is the night... If all the leaks are gone, and the pcm log looks clean, I might just make it to the track this weekend....
Oh, also ordered a few extra parts for the drivers side window assembly. A piece broke off of the track, so I thought that was all I needed... wrong... what a pita it was to get the glass out. Going to be fun figuring out how it goes back together.... arggg....
