Nice, good luck.
Would you ever run at RFR? They have track days both days next weekend. It would be sweet to see your car for once in person.
Maybe line up with Vassil and his small turbo car?
Nate there is your race you wanted.
I can't believe how light its getting with all that stuff you have in the car.

Rock could be awesome but they don't prep more than the first 100ft and I need it to hook through 3rd other wise it will be slow!
CFR will prep the hole fucking track start to finish! "house of hook"
Yes CFR will brake you weakest link!

I’m going to get another week to work on the car, the plan is to go to Rockfalls next Saturday. I have yet to run 9’s there, traction was the main issue when the car would just break into 9’s. Yes it's starting to get decently light, I have more to remove too. Who else is coming on Saturday?
Blah Blah Blah small turbo, 6266 is new technology and the shit is unreal, and yes I would race him.

Do you use camera footage to help you set the car up?
I'm learning on how to set up the car and I feel like if I could get some footage I'd be able to see what to adjust more.

Quick update. I purchased a PPG dogbox transmission, just received it yesterday. It had some shipping damage on the bell housing. I talked to Shep about the damage and ended up tig welding it back together. It had 2 cracks in it. I’m very excited to see what the talon will do with the new box. The 1-2 gear ratio is much more forgiving than the factory box and its got a taller 4th gear. The entry RPM into second gear will be much higher so I will get down the track quicker and faster than ever! I also picked up the quartermaster discs for my clutch from MAP, since the dog box has the same input spline as an Evo 8/9. What’s awesome is that the trans still has a stock syncro’d 5th gear for limited street driving!
I have myself another winter project. I plan to remove weight from the doors, wiring harness, useless brackets, trunk sheetmetal. Freshen up the cylinder head and inspect the shortblock. If anything is worn or damaged I will deal with it. I need to research my fuel system too, since my secondary 550 injectors are at almost 70% duty cycle with my primary 2150's maxed out. It eats E98, It's tough to believe I'm out of fuel pump. I run a 1800HP Fuelab and log fuel pressure.
Next summer should make for a good race season!
