Oh I in no way thought any insult I was just trying to gauge timeline, Paint was a BIG hink for us, and I knew a couple cars at Mikes were painted before they left, we just couldnt make up our mind on what to do so in the end I got to paint it.....weeeee (joking I hate paint work more than anything) But that and prep was a good 2 weeks, only myself did it, I didnt want the old mans lungs around this crap so, I t was just kinda like trying to sprintt on the beach, sllllooooowwwww.
Im still very impressed in the 3 weeks, even if the car was painted, plumbed and wired at mikes, 3 weeks is STILL Awesome.
The HP concerns me actually to a degree for a new reason, different than previous plans, plans change ours did too.....
What concerns me (and probably all you) is we are planning on driving the car more than previously planned, and well its a new car, a little change here a big change on the track......to say I have no idea what . where . when , it will run what is an understatment.
Plus 2 drivers that have 2 speeds full go, and stop (me and my dad) well....not so good at lifting...he sure is hell isnt. He ran a "saftey pass" full length , when asked why he said "It felt too good to stop" .... they didnt like that answer and made him run it again
I will try if Im "drubbing" the car, but the old man ? Yeah and people think Im an unpredicatble "loose cannon" .... lol... Im the structured planner
Buttoning up some Chassis items tonight , relocating some electronics for RF isolation and hopefully tommorow sometime well be testing, this things fuel is mapped to a point of sickness.....the curve, well I could roadrace this car......Ive got complete mapping form 1000 to 8000 no predictive curves, thats actual, done and redone....nice map.....thing starts nicer than my truck.
But it looks like all the obvious gremilns are out, track gremilins tommorow.
Cheers
Chris

as HP is concerened the 6.1 HEMI only has 1 trigger now. And on my bye run I shut off, also second round I shut off to lower the average. Right now no HP but its a long way till July. Even if we get 5hp I cant make the weight. As long as no one goes 1.25 under we will only get 5 or so depending on the average or the trigger. 1.00 triggers 1.250%hp, 1.15 triggers 1.250% and 1.25 automatic 1.350 %. Idon know.LOL
