Milestone!!

I drove my car around the neighborhood today and washed it. This is the first time the car has moved under it's own power in 4 months. And of course I found multiple problems, but most solved now. Had a MAJOR fuel leak (had my new return line hooked up to the wrong connection at the tank which explains why my FPR didn't seem to work. All fixed!! I'm going to try and attach pics of the car and motor to this post, but never did that before. Now it's time to TUNE the felpro program A LOT MORE!!!

The pic didn't work. So I'll e-mail it to anyone who wants them (with the 18 and 17" wheels)...

Congrats Derrick!!!

Glad to hear that your car is all together and running. Can't wait to see it make some passes down at the track.

Aloha,

At last!

Shoot me some pics!

Will it be ready by Sat?

I tried setting up a personal web page with road runner to put the pics on, but I don't have any idea what the www website is. but you can try this and let me know if it works please. It should work for any road runner users, but not sure about non-road runner.

So when is it going to the tracks?

 

[tazgn]

unfortunately, Due to the completely new setup on the induction side, the FAST program isn't even close. I'm just trying to get the car so it runs decent right now. My goal is to have it running good enough to take it to the track Saturday so I can spectate. I know that it won't be ready to run by Saturday unfortunately. But SOON!!!

Saturday

It looks like I just may be able to get the car to the track Saturday, but only spectating. I just took it for a "real" trip around the block vice just the housing development and did a little tuning with the FAST system. MUCH better now!! It still needs a lot of work, but I'm getting there. Anyone else running the FAST (Felpro) system out here? I know I have good air flow and stuff, but I need 50's for VE's at idle and 70's just off idle. Even with the car in BAD tune right now, it was FRIGGIN fast! And I only hit 5 psi max. Oh, and ANYONE wanting a tranny, let me just say again. This tranny from Bruce at PTS is the BEST money I've ever spent (yes, it was a lot of money unfortunately).

John, do you still want the pushrods? I just saw a post saying it is 8.85" pushrods for the stock rollers on the GN1's. I have 8.65" rods here, but they should work with the roller rockers. If you want them, I'll bring them Saturday.
