Oh wow....you're in hesperia???
I was out that way yesterday at the Glen helen ampitheater for KROQ's inland invasion concert in Devore......
Thats a wicked drive....
I couldn't handle 70+ miles each way.
When I was working at D1GP that was already a 43 mile drive each way and it sucked!!!
Try driving the Orange crush everyday at both rush hours.
I would love to work somewhere like that but damn......Gas alone would kill me....or at least force me to live at work in my car......HahaHaAHA

Bah, its in, just need to wait for the oil filter pedistal so i can hook it up, water temp is hooked up- did you guys know that theres a allen head plug below the stock oil cooler line on the front iron that has the same threads as your autometer adapter and coolant flows thru there? No tapping/drilling/removing **** required I hope i can make the October 1st auto-x!!

Ok, if you have stock oil cooler lines right under them on the front iron there is a allen head plug there perfectly threads using the autometer adapter that comes in the gauges, you do have to barely push up the line a bit. I'm guessing this is a secondary drain source for the coolant in the block.

best place for the sensor is right before the thermostat--that's where the coolant is the hottest.

LOL I think Fris put it after the thermostat when i saw his engine last. He said it was predrilled to, you know how theres a small indentation with almost the perfect size to drill a sender in, well thats where he said it was predone.

that's kinda dangerous. if the t-stat sticks shut, you can be overheating with your gauge reading lower than normal.

Hmm, I'm not getting any power to the gauges after i drove the car around, maybe the t-taps are to big for that size wire on the cig lighter. Errr

use the damn leads from the haltech... that's what they're there for!

and if you don't wanna do that, use the black/white wire down by the ecu.
