defeat. Oh baby this is looking really good for Bakersfield. Mr. and Mrs. Hwycoper and Mr. Jim will be there with their mighty race-ready SC's. The Nor-Cal group with blood in their eyes....
The So-Cal group with sleep in their eyes (virtual slap upside Al's head, "wake up Al"). Now we are ready..."Ron wake up!".
This is going to be a great occassion.

And yes, if all goes right, we will have awards. Thanks to Mr. Al35thSC's Award shop.
OH YEAH......

Been workin' on weight reduction (just the car) here. All I have left to do this morning is to strip all the paint off and I'll be ready to roll!

..don't forget the paint under the rear lights!!! Also, you dont really need a steering wheel if you are going to drive in a straight line!

Yes, I'm planning to get that paint too.

I've already drilled plenty of lightening holes in the steering wheel, so that should be OK as it is - can't make any sharp turns, though, not enough meat left in it for that!

Did you ever get to cross drilling the exhaust pipes and brake lines?

PS I installed cutouts in the IC tubes to add the 14.7 PSI standard atmospheric pressure, just think...12psi of boost +14.7=whoa NELLY!!!

What exhaust pipes, what brake lines? Lost them in phase I.

I got some suspicions about that IC tube idea, better ask Fred to run some calcs.

I was up all night figuring them calculations out on the TI-89. I got some pretty nice curves out of them. Peaked right at 450 hp to the wheels with cross drilled lines and pipes. I figure I'll send them to Fred and ask him to make me a nice tuner file for the radio, I can have 25 presets you know :D I can only begin to imagine how much you are getting without the lines and pipes at all. You SC Gurus go wild with your setups, I'm too scared to go and do that!
