Finetuner, SRT4guy and anyone else who went to Norwalk.
How did it go? Any new recoreds? I had a blast at the Mopar nats but wish I could have went to Norwalk with you guys. I've been busting your guy's balls about going and when you do go I can't make it Anyway just wondering how it went.
Also John you want me to bring the Gheto Skinnies for you this sat night?

Hey Das - My car is down for a few weeks so I won't be needing the ghetto's this saturday, thanks though. I pulled the head and sent it off to be ported.
I did go to Norwalk. I think it was just me and 2MCHPSI from the forums. Very cool place. I ran a new best of 11.61 at 120 mph. If only I had the ghetto skinnies, I could have gotten into the 11.5's!
My next drag event will likely be the Sept 10th UTL. My goal is to have the car back together by then.

And Congrats on the new times man! That is Flying. IS that still with the ECu controlling boost? Whats the whole set up on that car now? Don't worry I won't tell everyone, it'll be our little secret.
Yes, ECU controlling, but I have a slight bleed to atmosphere on the wastegate line. The same setup I had when I was running Stage 2.
With the FMIC, my Stage 2 ran much lower boost than other Stage 2 cars so I used the bleed to raise the boost a couple of PSI. Same thing going on with my Stage 3. I only run about 19-20 psi usually while others are running 22-24psi. So I bleed the wg line slightly to gain a couple of psi.
I also have done a pretty thorough weight reduction including the small battery and I used 2MCHPSI's front wheels & tires on my rear.
Finetuner is not happy about the weight redux. Makes him MAD

Screw that old guy John. it's all about going fast, if he was not worried about going fast he would have the stock turbo. (I only said that so I could use that smiley too) Thats pretty damn good for your mods. Lets recap.
I like my little battery. It seems fine so far. I did run it dead once by leaving the fan running to long once but I did that with the stock battery once too.
I might be. I am shipping my back up head tohim also. Maybe I will wait to see how yours comes out. Are you doing cams too? Cam gears? Come on I want the details here.

I think that's it.
I think you did, but did you fix that POS Zzapp TB yet? If not PM me or hit me up on AIM.
But your E/T per dollar is pretty damn good. Nice to see you supporting the local vendors too. oops I mena Vendor (ndswngs)

Yeah, I fixed the Zzap leak a few weeks ago.
And my apologies to you about the ported Intake mani. It was kind of an impulse buy when they posted that SRTOC members got 15% off. "It's on sale?? It's on SALE?? I've gotta get it....." One of those moments.
