Thank you! I've been starting to test now so I'm crossing my fingers!!! Just hoping to get some experience with the testing process, not expecting anything out of it. How do you like working in Dallas??

I love it...nothings better than working only 7-8 days a month. Good luck on your testing. It is a long and tedious process, no matter what department you are trying to get on with. Stay focused.

Well time to get this thread back and rolling! Over the past few months I have finally gotten the car back and running and driving on the road. So far just trying to get everything dialed in as far as tuning the engine, and messing with my brake prop valve. The steering is much better and quicker thanks to the Shelby quick steer set up and especially since I ditched my rack and pinion and went back to the gear box style steering set up. Also very happy with my 6 piston Wilwoods up front! I haven't gotten the chance to really jump on the brakes, considering I haven't gotten my harnesses yet and only have lap belts at the moment so I just get folded like a taco in the seat under hard braking. Also finally got my C&R third member with 3.50:1 gears and a Detroit Locker, and I must say it is beautiful. Pictures do not do this thing justice. The guys at C&R in North Carolina do some awesome work! Also a big thank you to Mike Maier and his guys for helping me out on this one! I'll get some more pictures of the car up and running soon!
