Payton, is that a FAST intake? If so, I'm definitely painting mine! Looks sweet

Are you going to RTTH6?

[Payton King]

Fast 90mm and I am signed up and ready to go to RTTH. Got a little oil pump problem rigtht now...7 psi of pressure. No metal in the oil or filter so i am guessing it sucked out an o-ring or the bypass is stuck. While I am changing the pump I will put in an Improved Racing oil pan baffle.

I take it you will be at RTTH? Hope so, love to see your new car in person. I really liked your old one. Great event and the people are even better.

[cdushane]

Yes, I'm all signed up! Maybe you could ride the autox with me or even drive my car to give me some pointers, the way it's looking it might be my first time doing an autox event

[Payton King]

with better skills than mine to help you out. If you want to be one of the slow guys...I am your man. LOL What is that new country song "I'm pretty good at drinkin' beer."

I will tell and show you everything I know. Brian Finch or Kyle Tucker would be a great place to start and they are more than willing to let you ride and pass on some good info.

With that motor you are doing you are going to have your hands full.

Are you going to make the drive non-stop? You are more than welcome to spend the night at my house here in Charlotte if you are planning on breaking up the trip. Come to think of it, you will probably go through Atlanta up 75 to Knoxville...invite is still open if you come this way.

[cdushane]

I'll probably be starting out a little "slow" as it is Yes, I'll definitely talk to Kyle and I've never met Brian but I'm sure I will.

Thanks for the invite but more than likely I'll leave outa here early and drive straight through.

It's been a while since I've updated but here's the latest. After spending weeks trying to sort out what we did and didn't have for the motor/trans I bought we were finally able to start ordering the parts we needed. Everything we need was in by late last week and we should have this thing ready to fire by the end of this week/beginning of next

Once that's done we are going to get rid of the chrome on the side as discussed earlier so hopefully withing 2 weeks I'll have it back. Trying to get it ready for RTTH6 but not sure that's gonna happen. Keeping my fingers crossed though

Very cool Chris. Keep us posted buddy!

[cdushane]

It's been a while since I updated and we've had tons of issues with the motor/trans swap. I really think I have a black cloud over my head with trying to get this thing finished Anyway, we fired it yesterday and man the motor sounds wicked but as I walked to the rear of the car I noticed we were pouring gas outa the fitting going into the tank. After some diagnosis and thinking it wasn't tightened we discovered we had the wrong fittings so we are going today to get the new ones and hopefully have it running and ready to be tuned next week.

Also want to say thanks again to Frank @ Prodigy and Wegner for the kick ass front drive system, this thing is top notch and bolted in perfrectly, no shims no problems nothing!

Good to hear Chris. Hope it all works out for you.
