Well I threw a pretty decent street tune on the car today. Pulls real hard, good afr's and no knock at 17psi. Pretty much just hit WOT, tip in and cruise stuff, still need to get back to the low boost cells and partial throttle stuff but its good enough to take it down to SS for sure. Now I just need to be off work so I can attend! How is everyone's projects coming along?

Hi all. I have an 89 N/A Auto that I'm trying to get running. It's been out of commission for a long time. I just finished putting the small block together. That intermediate plate and those
f***en apex seals were a b*t*ch! You know, if I didn't read about super-glueing the two piece apex seals together, I don't know how long I would have been stuck. I think it should be mentioned that when you do glue them together, it mush be on a VERY STRAIGHT slab and the excess glue can not build-up on the sides, or they won't go in without breaking. (Learned all that on my own!) Anyhow, I really felt like celebrating when I got that small block together! LOL! You know, I asked Mariah Motorsports for help or a quote, $400.00 +, to put the small block together with all my new parts. SHEZZZZZzzzzz!!!! that motivated me to try, try, again. Anyhow I did it without damaging anything and all by myself I did, I did! Anyhow, If you guys still have any tips for me, or any "watch for this and becareful" situations,,, just let me know... Hopefully I'll be up and running this year!!!!

Cool, so that is the red FD that was shooting big *** fireballs on the 101 next to my 335i Are there many advantages of the P2000 over the E11? Whats the FFE pickup?

Yep. It has a set of stage 3 BNRs with meth now.

Here's the FFE Trigger kits. I upgraded to the P2000 so it can run it. They also might have a PFC kit coming out, so follow that thread.

Wow, that looks killer. I had my hopes up but then I read this:

Unfortunately both of those systems are what they are and can't be changed.
I bet that car is a blast with the bnr's. I always thought a set of sequential stage 3's at 18psi with a good tune would be a hard combo to beat for tons of usable powerband.

That's what I'm attempting with Meth injection... But going single has been sooo tempting...
