Well like I said the day the Toy is up is when it's
bout time for me to leave and that has been true
to the very letter.

She runs! 1-3rd she pulls hard all the way to 7k but
it's at like 65%. You can tell it's not there the
program is trying to cope w/ the increased demand.
4-6 she falls on her face and Mike served me up bad
on A-6. But it's ok she sounds good. :)

I'm definetly putting off the paint job for a 12 bolt this
Dec because she can't handle all that torque and the
3.23's ain't cutting it. It spins to 7 so quick it's scary
and the clutch grabs like a mofo when it wants to.
I think the car is picky at times for some odd reason.
Later today it felt just like my old LT4 which was spooky.
I really think it's got a mind of it's own and doesn't
want to let go of the past.

Well awaiting ANOTHER program but tomorrow I'm throwing the
Superchip back in and see what happens after inspection (fingers crossed because it's loud).

All Tony did was download the computer w/ all the bad codes
and fired it up and presto no richness or nothing. Still
get a SES light for some odd reason but I'm not complainin
at the moment. Reverse is hard to get to but I can do it
while the engine is on thanks to Tony.

Well that's it for now at least I can say we'll be @ Hockenheim this wkend!

It does not sound like you are ready to challenge the Hawk. I will give you to next spring fair enough. Mike if you think you are up to the feat let me know I will be in Hockenheim this weekend. I will be a phone call away. Just understand I would rather beat up on people outside FBE. If I beat you it was fun, if you beat me it was fun. I would still like to put some bones on it. What do you want, 1/8,1/4 or top? it is all good for me. Silas I heard your car over the phone sounded good. I hope it is running good for you, the problems you are discribing are normal with such a build up. Now it is tinker time.

At least you got a car so it is just a matter of time before we play. I will be turning strong 11's in the spring. Glad to hear Tony was able to help you out I am sure I could not figure that stuff out. He helped me last year. I am looking foward to bagging a 396 LT1 it will be marked under the hood as a confirmed kill when I get you. LOL
