Power is up---lots
 
Ok, great news today, they have been testing the car and everything is working good except the hydroboost, which is being addressed tomorrow. We had a fuel starve problem, but they pulled the tank today and found the pickup was not correct, and when you went into a right hand sweep turn, the fuel would starve. The problem was that I had a special tank made for this car, for both FI and carb. That problem is being fixed by bending the pickup to the middle of the tank and putting a GM fuel sock on it. The hydroboost is getting some backpressure and is hitting the brakes all by itself. I guess if you have 2-3 pounds of back pressure it will deploy the brakes. The new power steering reservoir tank is being over nighted from Texas to be installed tomorrow to hopefully correct the problem. The new hat, the J&S and the water injection is working nicely, creating a lot more power. It will go off to dyno next week for numbers, and they went up 7 jet sizes on the secondaries then what we had last time, so it’s getting a lot more volume. The new wheels will be here in 2 weeks. The car should be at the Good guys show this weekend if it doesn’t rain.

Thanks Steve, yeah it's been rough, not quite over yet, but the sun is shining now at the end of the tunnel. I just hope it shines at the show.

Glad to hear it is working out. I talked with Jason yesterday, and he said they and you might be at the show this weekend. I am trying to get there myself rain depending. Are you going to be there both days? Hopefully I will get to see you and your car.

Rain is supposed to stay away until Sat evening, looking forward to seeing it at the show.
