Thanks again guys. I just got back from the track. It was pretty packed, only got 2 runs in. The 1st one I messed up the launch badly, spun through all of 1st, and all of 2nd. Ran a 15.2@102

Last run I still got some hop off the line, but did much better. Ran a 13.5@105, with a 2.2 60'. If I got some good tires and can get that 60' down to the sub 2 range, car should be a solid low 13 second car as it sits. Cant wait to get a ECU and some tuning

Congrats, but that's a lot of breathing mods with no ECU, I'd get a PFC stat if I were you.

So I can imagine that yeah, you'll need to be careful to with your setup.

Once again, kick-*** car!

is that while you're pushing it? or did you get it fixed? I may have missed it.

Thanks guys. As I said before, I took more pics today when it was nice out, at my usual picture spot. Pulled her out and gave it a nice wash, she cleans up well

. Heres a few more pics:

Also took a few hours the other day to paint the calipers, which turned out well.
