I started picking up stuff for the car that were needed and would help get me into the mid 11's at the start of this year. First I converted the car to e85 with injectors and a fuel pump and took it to the track only to bust out a 12.02 @ 111 or so when I was hoping for a mid 11. I haven't race in forever but still was confident I could get at least an 11.8 with my Mickey's but had no luck.
Fast forward a few months and I then bought a 6266 turbo, a front mount, a wideband setup, and a power logger and tunable chip, some valve springs, and a few other little things. After a leak down test I realized the car has a tiny head gasket leak and now am doing heads, a roller cam, new motor mounts and some other maintenance things just because.
With everything I'm doing I am really hoping to get into the 10's at this point and don't see why it won't. It is a stock short block and people have taken them into the 9's with Turbo Regals so I'm not too worried. I really hope to get the car together to bring it to Union Grove before they close for the year. I think it's the end of October but am not sure. If it is too cold I'll wait until next year but I really want my 10 second slip before the winter.
