Not gonna make Orlando. I’ll be at Rockingham though.
The Rock is on my list. Hopefully I'll see you then.

I was out last night for a joy ride

Will there be a difference when it comes back?
The ported heads I think picked up a solid .1 to .2 seconds in my 60 to 130 time with the 2.4 blower. The acceleration difference between the two for now and the Whipple it’s about point1 seconds every 10 miles an hour the 24 picks up about .7 to .72 seconds for every 10 mph the Whipple was doing about . 6 to .62 every 10 mph which is a solid half a second in the 60 to 130. seeing that there is revision K out now I think I need to get my Whipple back on and beat on it a little bit and see how it does and use up some of its time and it’s still warranty. So maybe it ends up going back one more time before its one-year warranty is out to be upgraded to the latest version or maybe it might even hold but only running it will tell.

had a hell of a time finding belly pan it’s been off the car for like 2 years lol. Setting up my line lock buttons on the steering wheel, drove to a real e85 pump (tested at 85)since no one sells canned stuff nearby except real street which is far and they were closed by the time I got done work. Have to drain crap fuel out of car put hood fuel in see how it’s behaving. @DavidKFla what time in the am does r&d usually start sundays?

Had another good day of testing this super soft no prep tune for next weekend. all very soft launches no spinning and went A-B. done on an E70 tune shifting at 6300 with timing pulled on all shifts to not shock the tires.

You running 315s? I see that most of the cars are transferring weight like the old school cars did.

Thanks buddy. I'm more excited for the Radial prep day on April 1st at Capitol. finally get to turn it up and see what it will do for this season. I'm tired of pulling power out to run these stupid no prep events.
