Just drive it to town every so often, to busy with work to get it ready and make a track trip.

Haven't seen that gauge pod before, looks good.

I understand that. I have been trying to get back for 4 months now.

Gauge pod is for a jeep. Tin snips make it Chevrolet...haha.

I recently added a Snow meth\water kit to help with this Florida hot air. It has been a challenge to tune. I went to the dyno and we couldn't get a good pull as the hit would go straight up in rpm. My 410 gear and the little 9" TC doesn't like a dyno. A 3000rpm hit takes about 2 seconds to redline. I was on a nice new Mustang dyno...first time ever. I didn't care what hp was because what difference does it really make....It runs what it runs.

So, back to the street for tuning and it takes forever. It has a few hesitations when WOT unless I go from second gear and rpm is in the 5k range. I still need a 70 degree track day and things not looking so good for May

haha custom!

I understand, do all my tuning on the street too. Only so many hits you can make before you feel you painted a target on yourself due to noise.

Woah buddy! You are going to wrong direction on wheel/tire size to keep those 10 sec slips. I hope you got a matching set of 15's for race day. I presume that is a 305/45/18 ET 'R'?

I have experience with multiple brand 305/45-18 and the mickey Thompson 275/60-15. the the 18" tire hooks great, the 15" is much better...I blame the extra sidewall.
