I say I get you in the 1320, but you get me in the turning races. Hopefully we can find out sometime...

Skip, did you get the renewal paperwork for being President of my Official Fan Club? :thumbsup:

Thanks Manny. You'll be home in no time. Get back safe and hopefully we can cruise or meet up when your ride is done. How's it coming?

Thanks Tone. If you like loud, you probably would like it. :lol:

Yeah I had thought about that but I really didn't want the extra contrast (these wheels were black center/polished lips before as a comparison) and was okay with losing some of the detail of the wheels.

Whitewalls.... now there's an idea. :lol:

Thanks man. Gearhead is organizing a track day for sometime in October. Get your whip ready! :woot:

Sounds good! I will get her ready!

I not sure when I am getting the heads back, maybe this week, then take a couple of nights to put it back together. So hopefully running in a week or two. I will try to make the race day even without my car to watch.

If I was still living in Kansas City I would gladly drive down to Procharger's office and see what the deal is.

Hey, go easy on me. This build has been extended several times and that caused issues on my end. I can't be the only one who didn't know about joke scope creep. :mad:

Thanks guys. Had a great afternoon driving the car, showing to my dad who is in town visiting, and hanging with the Gearhead guys. Was a nice cool 75 in Sacramento and perfect for cruising. The car saw its first freeway action and hit about 95-100 actual (speedo showing 110). Procharger is not installed (waiting for return from ATI for cleaning/refurb) so power is only in the 450-500hp range probably. Still pretty snappy for low compression and big cam. Tune isn't dialed in either but we just wanted it drivable for now so we could get some street miles on it and check for leaks and any other gremlins. So far so good. She has 29 miles on it total now. I may extend the exhaust past the dumps after the mufflers. Yes, I know many of you told me so. :_paranoid

I have a photo shoot set up with a badass photographer (friend of a friend) for whenever he and the car are ready at the same time, and I will be joining the Gearhead crew in their display area at the Good Guys show in Pleasanton Nov 14-15. Been lookin forward to that. Some more pics and a little happy ending video.

She told me she's kinda sad without her blower :(

Can't believe I have somehow missed this thread---I just caught up with all 50 something pages of it---what a killer ride. Love the fact that you put a procharger on it--once you have one, I believe it's impossible to go without--unless you are Jody and get twin TC's.

Great car bro---really great choices all the way around--love the way it sits, love the all black wheels, love the view from the back, love it all.

I'm coming up for Pleasanton show next year (June I believe) and hope that I will get to meet you and see your car in person. Get some more video of it with the Procharger back on it. Which head unit did you go with?

I can't wait to get the D1SC back on and get the boost jacked up. We hope to take it to the track very soon once the clutch is broken in a little more.

Video will be coming soon! :cheers:

Not sure, I will ask Jason what's up. I know he and I are both waiting on our blowers to get back to reinstall so that is a factor. And SEMA is coming up too. So November may be looking more like it....
