Live from "The garage" Trying to get to INDY Baby!

Yes he does. In the late 90s annd early 00s we ran mostly super street/hot rod. One 2nd place finish in div 3 and a cpl other top 10 or 15 or so I believe. Might have it back out next year in super street.

Currently on the side of the road with a dead battery. Anyone in Western Hills ohio wanna give me a jump? Lmao!

Bout to tighten all the intercooler piping, do some tuning, and head to the track!

I got caught by a local Stocker at the track testing earlier. Bad results. 2 passed. 1 bad boost leak and the second too much boost had to coast thru. Now starting a converter swap for a loser one to match my cams. Didnt think I would get away with the old converter but I was looking to get luck with at least one thing.

On these new cams, I could not go above 2500 on the converter and would only make 5psi of boost. Compared to 3k and 17 psi last week!

Luckily thrashing at the track and to get to the track is what I live for!

First pass .8 under but I'm 100 pounds light still yet. Still a little tight on the converter. I'm a sitting duck in eliminations trying to make boost. We will see. I still have some tuning left to do.

Keep going Jimmi, I know you will get it done...

See you in Indy... My car is in line right now, and I am looking forward to seeing you there.
