That seems to cause trouble for some shops/people -- working on their own racecar instead of on other people's cars.

Glad you got the car back soon enough to enjoy it before you go back to Afghanistan Josh!

He wasn't alone. I had to stop at 2 gas stations to put in water on the way home. It makes me glad it's a pretty easy job to replace it.

One of the hoses from the pumps to the hanger tore during a pass, which made it go lean, knock and lift the head.

I use a WOT lean alarm, it’s an annoying loud buzzer, to protect my setup. You have an AEM so it’s easy to add. Fuel pump problems suck, twin pump failure problems are even worse! You’re lucky it was only a lifted head. I can help PM me if you’re interested.

Exactly, putting an LSx is a smart option on almost any car. I'm looking into one for the boat!

Re: MAPerformance Proving Grounds Weekend @ BIR June 22-24th

Haven't had time to post but PG was a great time. Got up there late on Saturday due to work but I had to go this year.

Messed my clutch up on the first launch but it was only rated for 400 ft/lbs so I can't blame it for going. I managed to still run on Sunday but I had to roll out of the box and I had to turn my boost down to 27 psi. Still managed to trap 123 mph but my times were ugly. Now putting in an ACT twin disk and gonna be ready for the shootout. Hope to see some of you guys at the shootout, maybe we can get a MN group going.
