MIR track rental set for Oct 12!

[jodadejss06gt]

hows your car feel?

 

[Greg Hazlett]

I didn't get free until about 4:30 and I figured you would already be gone. What all did you get done today?


Earl

Intake, GT 500 TB, fuel rails, SW LT's and off road X pipe are on; ran into an issue-imagine that-with the GT 500 TB and the coupler being as large as it is it would not fit onto the A2A piping; we found a piece of pipe that will work so I need to order a coupler and T bolt clamp from silicone intakes.

 

[My08Stang]

it is going to be great match ups for sure

 

[rayS197]

Jason, Wouldn't Greg and Earl be closer in weight? They could run for a McRib Samich!! LOL!!

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Maybe...but not closer in ET or MPH....LOL!

 

[rayS197]

It won't be long and October 12th will be here

 

[retfr8flyr]

Yeah, I just hope mine is ready by then. If I miss this rental I will really be pissed.

What are you doing to yours? Is Mike doing the work?

 

[retfr8flyr]

Yes MAP will be doing the work. I am changing around the breather setup, new cam covers with bungs welded in,

a few other things and getting a new tune. My car has lots of blow by due to Loyd building the engine very loose and the small breathers just weren't cutting it. I would blow the dipstick out of the tube on every pass.


Earl

 

[Greg Hazlett]

I know how you feel....never any fun blowing the dipstick out of the tube....LOL!!!!

Mike seems a lot more motivated-ssshhh.....can we say wife mod......there weren't a lot of cars up there, looks like he is getting better at getting them in/out but while I was there 2 possible new customers stopped by.

 

[retfr8flyr]

Well that's good news. I am looking froward to seeing what she does with the new changes I'm making. Comp finally shipped my turbo back, they said an O ring failed and they installed all new bearings and such under warranty so I am happy about that. I was scheduled to go to Mike on Tuesday, as the turbo was supposed to be here last Wed. They said it fell through the cracks and didn't get shipped. It will be here on Wed so I have to install it and talk to Mike as to when I can bring the car to him.

Earl, now that your running oil-less turbo's and your engine having tighter tolerances you could put some thinner 5w20 oil back in, that may help some too.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Cough cough....Greg sells Amsoil....cough cough 5w-20...cough cough...LOL!

 

[rayS197]

Hey Greg, if you dont make a 9 sec pass are you gonna have Mike install one of these? Make sure the rotation is correct.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Huh....kind of reminds me of when we were at the track and Urist started his car and Earl and I had to hold onto the little kids to ensure they weren't sucked in!

I run Amsoil 10W30 now and the problem is the engine tolerances aren't tight, that's why all the blow by. The turbo's haven't anything to do with that. The new Comp's just mean I don't have any oiling problems in the exhaust now.

LOL That thing does suck in some air.
