Any news Todd??

Yea, but none of it is great news, lol. Fortunately the car and everything is fine, but the day started out with the bolt that holds the carrier bearing bracket to the block on the FR axle coming out and causing a serious vibration issue above 70 MPH. That was pretty easily fixed but fuel gremlins abounded today. I'm logging fuel pressure and could see it fall at seemingly random times with voltage being fine. Every test on the fuel pump has been good though. I have a new AFPR on the way (was hoping I'd have it in time for today...) and am swapping out these 1680's to the old Bosch 1600's and going back to E85. I learned my lesson the last time so I think I'll be fine going forward.

I managed to get a 7.9@90 on the only clean 1/8th mile pass but the 60' was horrible (couldn't build any boost at the line) and I have no idea if I was even still on the throttle at the half track point. But hey, it was the first outing of the year, bugs are expected, and we actually had a great time and where I would usually be annoyed/frustrated and so on but I'm really not. I'll get 'er fixed up.
