The hardware install is almost finished. Waiting on the inlet duct fittings for the IC's and the replacement KW shock from Rennsport-1.

Then it's off to the dyno room for some of Todd Z's magic

Still in bits and pieces

Dropped off the KW shock at EVOMS today. Had a nice chat with Todd Z. regarding the dual switch and goals for the race map.
My original intention was to go for 'pump' setting and a full on 'race fuel' map running pure MS109. My thoughts were to maximize power output of the bolt-ons using the highest unleaded octane available. But according to him, 94 would essentially max out the power gains of the upgraded VTG's (i.e. MS109 would provide a good safety net, but wouldn't yield any appreciable gains over 94). Ah well. Guess that saved me a ton of $$ in race fuel

So, coilover goes back on Monday, dyno tuning starts Monday/Tuesday. Car back in my hands next week. WOOT! Stay tuned....

Car in the bullpen waiting for next week. Todd Z. checking out the car



Happy T-day everyone!
