It is almost time to pull this car out of the moth balls so I figured I would post an update Other than cleaning the car up after 2022 Street Yeet I haven't touched it. The new turbo is still in the box, along with WG, the truck coil conversion new trans cooler and a stack of other stuff...

I am wring a powermaster into a new harness which I am building. There are 3 wires coming from the C100 bulkhead 12g Power, Brown Fan relay power and the tan/wht waring light. The PM motor shares the brown fan relay wire with the fan relay and the 12g Red wire with the coolant delay relay both...

We had a long ride home to discuss our decision to stop which was hard when we know the next pass on the car it was going to rip! The bottom line was the car wasn't hurt at this point, we didn't know for sure what all was wrong with it and if we did hurt it we could be out for the rest of the...

Thanks, Believe it or not most of this is normal stuff for a build like this. Knock on wood we really have avoided having any of those major issues.

Thanks, I remember, how did your buddy do with the Nova?

Everyone says you shouldn't show up for an event with a new build and untested car and I couldn't agree more. But what do you do at this point? We spent 20 months working on this thing almost non-stop, I paid the race registration booked the hotel rooms, its time to go!! And we are going to...

We flew back Tues evening and returned Friday morning for the Cadillac Attack. Murrary met us at the track with the car and trailer and we got there pretty early as racing did not start till noon. They had a Sick shootout class for SIck Week racers and were supposed to have 3 qualifying runs...

Thanks for the positive feedback I am glad someone is reading it and enjoying it. I like sharing the experience plus tracking the results of what we are doing. I think Alex Taylor modded a Turbo regal on Motortrend TV and went 15s. Unfortunately at this point I'm not doing much better lol...

On the dyno we also started tuning the 2-step and T-brake and set up a 3-step offset. The new TQ Dusty spec'ed was spot on and we were able to get to the 4k rpm chip in 2 seconds and ready to launch in 4. We had checked the plugs while on the dyno but spot checked only a few. When we checked...

Thanks, glad someone is reading it and enjoying it lol! Well it has been a journey since the last post Following our first dyno outting when we literally blew the top off the fuel pump I had come to find out it was my own idiot mistake. I had somehow had the filter in the housing backwards...

I also made some cribbing blocks and finished up the suspension, squared the rearend got a base suspension plot and did a front end alignment. I also scaled the car and got a base weight for a rough guesstimate which I am thinking will be around 3350. By the end of October we FINALLY got the...

We also needed to do something with the floor pans and my original idea of sectioning them and welding the bars into the floor pan was not working out. I ended up getting a pair of Goodmark rear floor pans to splice in. We also raised the rear pan a few inches in anticipation of the full...

This has been a long road but we are in the final stretches and set to leave on the 18th for Orlando to start testing for Sick Week which begins Sunday Jan 28th. We will be at the Cadillac Attack on the 26-7th too. My last post from June was where we were at the end of March of this this year...

I will have the following outputs programed all on individual wires Brake Lights Parking lights Rt Rear Turn Rt Front Turn Lt Rear Turn Lt Front Turn I am running parking lights output to front and rear lights

Well you might be right after all! But only because the Racepak software won't let you change the channel from constant to flashing with a secondary input like I was thought could be done so my idea won't work. I am not at the point I can power all this crap up so I can see what I can and...
