Awwww man...

I was SO close to getting a different car for next October.

After looking at these pics, I'm thinking we might need to run the 7 again.

Good Times!

I dunno.

^^^ 3 or 4 air tanks?

We will have air-hornage in some next October. I have sourced an air compressor that won't melt or catch on fire like the last ones.

^^^ I have a 2 hp tankless electric air compressor. Weighs about 10 lbs.

Add a second air tank in the car and that will get the job done.

yup, we sent that FC of ours to hell... it may never come back.
chuck, you going to get the "other motor" running? even if so we're going to need another clutch, tranny, tires... and maybe a few driver modifycations to keep all those running.

^^^I have the tires taken care of. Thankyouverymuch

Will either rebuild the engine in the car with twin "superchargers" OR use the one out of my FD when its rebuilt and use the stock twin turbos.

Really all we need is a T2 transmission and clutch.

As far as driver modifications - I was thinking you get the car last on the second day in the afternoon. Go nuts.

Oh yeah - we WILL get the Dangerous Banned Technology Trophy. Does anyone want to loan me a Margarita Machine????

We REALLY do not need a T2 tranny with the power we're making now... but if we actually start making any power that would be nice insurance.
