How about an update now.
This past Saturday myself and a few friends rented out the race track to get out of quarantine and enjoy some burn rubber and race fuel.
I wanted to go log some boost control settings in the Holley and do so in a safe area and prepped track for traction reasons.
I ended up hurting the clutch/slave and was out for the day, but after seeing temps fall back into the low 70s-high 60s, and the prep they put on the track for some fast cars (7.1@200mph fast). I decided to give it another whirl. Trans was shifting on upshifts with no issues!
Babied it off the line to ensure I got a clean "fast pass"
Saw the time and turned right back around to try and best it. Didn't run a quicker time but i went FASTER:
Overall very happy with the trip. I found that I need more fuel and CarlC onboard here helped me with about an hour long phone call talking through options and general shooting of the ****. Happy to have guys like CarlC that I can rely on with good honest advice and experience to back it up.
Also a shoutout goes to AndrewB70 for helping me get this things street manners under control and just being an all around great resource and friend to chat car stuff with.
