    Sounds good guys. I'm hoping I'll be ready to test in a couple weeks if I'm going to go to KY next month. I'll keep everyone posted.

    FTI has a new converter for me. The last one had less then 5% slip out the back but we struggled to get it to front half. I'm pretty excited to try the new one!

    How is the street manners with that turbo? You and I have similar setups and wondering what size turbo to go with.

    Well it drives around town like a built NA car, its pretty boring lol. It keeps me out of trouble though. I have to hold it at WOT for a few seconds, it doesn't do anything until it gets between 4500-5000. Then it will instantly go 9000 like a on/off switch and all three my mirrors will turn white. lol

    haha! I've been reading on the Ultra street 76 which apparently is pretty large. Thoughts?

    My best advice would be to call Jose at Forced Inductions and tell him exactly what you have and want. When he makes a recommendation just swipe the credit card and enjoy.

    I was very fortunate enough to be selected as one of the cars to be on this years Mod Nationals t-shirts. I'm pretty stoked about that! I broke down and ordered a wing for the car. It came in but I need to get it coated before I put it on. My block and heads are close to being done. I'm hoping to be test in the next week or two.

    I got to hang the new pistons on the rods last night. Wiseco's with the Armor plating. They sure are purdy. I'm supposed to pick up the block and heads today. Will need to mic a few things, file the rings, and start the assembly. If all goes well she'll be running this weekend!

    Soooo.... Its been a shit storm as usual. I fucked the car up pretty good at the Mod Nats race. I changed the gear and put limiters back on the car. It didn't wheelie at all until Saturday morning. When it came down it destroyed the whole front end of the car. I cut the front end off after straightening it out. I'm going to do a tubular front end to gain room to move some weight up front. Hopefully we can get it ironed out so we can put some power to this turd.
