Bummed I couldn't make it this weekend - one 3.5hr trip through LA traffic up to Santa Clarita on Saturday was enough for one weekend!

Will have to come check the car out when you get her home again

You got it Bry. Always good to see you and Trev!

Thx Dave. Cris and crew get all the credit. They also did something unique on the ECU mount. It's above the glove box area. I'll get a pic of that next week...

And you thought I missed that remark ;-)

I had made some modifications to the car after the dyno session the other week so Saturday was all about a follow-up roadtest and re-tune "on the street". We litterally drove, logged, pulled to the side, tuned, repeat. Just a lot of little tweaks here and there, mostly for the street, very little change to the WOT (which of coarse we would never do on the street ) I learned a ton. The car just plain runs and drives better now, which got thee ultimate test on the way back home! It was also the ultimate test for the fuel issues now that we have the Vaporworx kit fitted and coated the stainless headers to bring the underhood temps down. ZERO issues. Now to swap out that clutch

And yes, that firewall is clean... Nice little touch around the mounting for the Wilwood stuff. All transition edges smoothed out. You sure this is still going to be a driver and not a show boat?

Lol loving it. Can't wait.

Thx Brett! Yes, 427 is the new 350 I think. Less than 1/2 of us can use it, including me... Talk soon Brett!

Great update Sir! Love that your getting it sorted out in no time. I think it's time to update your project thread...

This weekend I took a turn wide right behind Cris on his deserted street. Trying to get him in the corner, he stomped on Blue balls and I was toast. I'm sure your WOT is plenty fun...

I can't speak for Phillip, but you don't have to try very hard to keep up with me!
