I think your doing awesome on that rear set up. Have your broken any axles on that set up? Im calling PFS today and ordering a girdle. If your diff can live with that kind of power.. Im should be a walk in the part for it.

I said damn **** sucka I'm proud of you.. I understand the he had some issues, but issues that could happen to any one of us. congrats to Ernie and his family, also to Ray Wilson for not giving up and dealing with Ernie's crazy ***. Ernie Im still impressed with your non-driving ***...

Just wondering, why not get a mechanical fuel pump to eliminate the fuse problem from a electric pump?

I think that should be the quick fix for your problem once the motors is built from the pump damage.

Best of luck on your next race.

Are you running a mechanical fuel pump now? If not, time to step up too.

Ernie, I ran into your Supra buddy at the IFO in Columbus...He calls himself the ETK (Ernie T Killer). He won the FIP class. He asked if I knew you and I told him I met you at DGRR. Everyone must know you!

Yeah, he had the PFS banner on the windshield. He won the FIP class but with a 9.4ish run. I don't think anybody was even close to him though. They were nice guys. We ran into them at dinner also. They still had a long night of driving in front of them.

Im not one to tell people what to do with there money but would it have been cheaper to buy a clean roller or a stock one and turn it into a road course car then to buy such a known car and part it out to build a road course car? Just curiouse..
