Thanks guys.

As for the good driving, that was my friend Dusty driving. He is used to driving civics and since I was in Florida with Dee and the reactive crew, he did me a favor by testing it out for me at the import survival series event at etown. It was the first time down the track in a rear wheel drive vehicle lol, he did great.

Rx7Wee - the motor is street ported.

Lupe - no 2 step yet. Will hook that up this week since I'm gonna go to Virginia for the 2nd NHRA event. The 60ft was a 1.55 or 1.56 but should be in the 1.3 area with the 2 step. (hopefully)

BNA - I made 470 Rear wheel HP (corrected) but that was on low timing. I raised the timing back up to 15degrees (was 12deg on the dyno) but the MPH shows a lot less HP. The next run the blow off valve started leaking really bad so I think we have a boost leak and the car was barely even making the 20psi.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hey Lupe,

Dee did great man, it was a lot of fun. My friends and I got a really good idea what it is like to race at that level.

Dee qualified 2nd with a 7.80 pass, he had to lift 3/4 down the track due to terrible track conditions so we knew the car had a LOT more in it.

In the finals he had a clutch problem over something simple and could not get the car in 3rd gear. It sucks becuase he had the car that won, the lexus , by at least a car and a half the entire track and treed him but when he could not get into 3rd, the lexus passed him.

It was really a blast, you should try to come to one of the NHRA events when everyone is there.

I also got to meet Ken sheepers and Dan Scheckter from rx7.com (jigsawrx7.com) It really was a lot of fun. Dan ran a 10.2 and a 10.3 at the event with his FD.

Anthony

It allows you hit a switch, push the clutch in, floor the gas thus creating boost. You can leave the live with 15-20psi therefore putting the bitch on the bumper.

Here is an example of what a 2 step looks like, I am trying to find a video for you so you can hear what it sounds like.

When I was in Florida I tried to stand to the right side of Dee's car to take a video, about 1.5 cars back on the right side.

When the 2 step came on I scared the **** out of me, I had to put the camera down and just get out of there.
