For anyone that's interested, my TTA is back up and running very well after a short winter intermission. My combo is a lot milder then the last time she went down the track. I went back to a KISS state of tune that I hope will offer some longevity to the driveline. My new combo is as follows: CPTE44 w/ .82 exhaust housing, ported TTA heads that I had on before, 3000 stall 12", Lunati 200-200, Hemco for the stock TB, LT1 MAF, & stock injectors. The car seems to pull hard at 20psi and the numbers look good. I'm beta testing a pretty slick chip that allows quite a few different parameters to be played with...kinda like a FAST system for po folk and light years ahead of my Hypertech chip (just kid'n). I have about 120 miles on the new motor so I've yet to lay into it from a stop....trying to break it in right. On the negative side of things, I had some blue smoke trailing behind the car at WOT that turned out to be bad O rings on the oil pressure sensor housing...ya know that black internally threaded tube that the sensor screws into. Turns out at high speed/oil pressure the thing was leaking enough that oil was blowing back on to the X over pipe and burning off; this was the only time it smoked. Anyhow that's fixed as of tonight. Now I have to get the car detailed for the world of wheels expo in KC this March. I'm already getting jazzed up for BG 2006. I made my reservations at Motel V6 after hearing that they might be booked up....turns out as of last week they were pert near booked for that week and my vacation was approved and on the books at work FOUR short months folks....FOUR short months for those of us that are awaiting the big thaw. Cheers
