Jackstands baby! Suspension is at full droop in the pic. I can assure you it looks much more like a race car now. Had to reweld my exhaust after the rear spring change.

Bryan, is your guy still interested in making restrictor plates? I would like to get a set of 4 or 5 before the dyno day.
Ah, I didn't dyno with the group because I couldn't make it on the Saturday. I have a 48mm in now, so I would like a a 46, 47, 49, and 50mm plate if you find them.
I dynoed at the same place as the group but just took what I got, which was only 252rwhp. Since I can't seem to get the car below about 3310lbs with my cool-shirt cooler I would like to get over 260 this year.
Went to the doctor this AM to see why my eye has been bugging the shit out of me for the last three days. I think the piece of metal he pulled out explains it.;)
Morale to the story- Grinding shields are f'ing worthless when you are grinding. Gonna have to pick up a pair of goggles for the next go round. Only thing I can think of is that it was metal dust that got in there.
The upside is my two year thinks I am a pirate now with the eyepatch so I guess he will stay entertained at my expense today. Dr. says all the cornea scratching will heal so got my fingers crossed that hes right.
Hmm-that seems lower than most numbers with that size plate. I know AJ used the plates when they were dynoing it for Chuck and trying different exhausts. Does it still have the T2 restrictor in it between the throttle body and intake? Or maybe that dyno is just registering low which might make some sense.
Anyway, hopefully the plates are in the garage and not in the trailer but I will look for them. I'm also shocked you can't get the car below 3310 after a race, my last race I used 45 lbs of ballast. Though I only weigh 165 but still have room to pull more weight out of the car.

"Hardly, my lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare."
Went to the doctor one day cause I had this spot in my left eye's field of vision. He takes a look and grabs a small pick like tool and goes to my eye w/ it. Turns out I had a small ball of steel in there. He said it was about 50% burned into the eye ball. I guess one should not use the "close your eyes" method of eye protection when tack welding. In this instance, my timing was a little off.
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his fly. The bartender says "What's the steering wheel for?" The pirate says "Arrrr....it's driving me nuts!"
I can relate..... a few years ago I was working on the car and ended up jabbing myself in the eye with a pair of needle nose plyers. Blood coming out of the eye and all.... it took a few weeks, but it all healed up well.
