Flapjack you wanna go to pueblo tonight? Ksack and I are probably going

I was supposed to go, but I haven't sorted out the starting problem I'm having. In case it was flooded, I took the spark plugs out to clean them. I will probably be back around 4:30 to put the plugs back in and do some more troubleshooting.

Here's the thread. Let me know if you have any ideas:

It's running pretty good. I need to get some more logging done for Lito. I'm guessing a log from the track would be fantastic for him to clean up the last little bit.

Other than that, I just have some minor things that need to be done. For one, my power steering feels like shit. Not sure why. It's about twice the effort that I normally have to give while turning the wheel. It's a brand new pump, so I'm not sure what's going on there. I also have some minor wiring to do, and my AEM TruBoost to install.

Not sure if I'll have time over the weekend, but if I do, I'll give you a call. Shoot me your number via PM if you get a chance.

I tried once, and they whined. I had a perfect wear pattern and backlash, so it may have just been the gears. I dunno, but I never want to do it again!

Definitely fun. I forgot to put the damn tire stem lights on, though. That's probably why I didn't break 12s...

Yeah, the wives were great. Maybe we can have them hit the lake, then meet them out after running the cars. It'd be nice to be out there on a less gloomy day, too.

Yeah, that is ridiculous. I wish I'd seen his face when his dumbass realized it was him that hit you!

Sucks about the 14.02. So damned close. Don't feel bad, though. Even with the correction factor (1/2 for turbo cars), I still didn't get into the 12s.

Thanks for the compliments. The engine bay is definitely unique. Giant mishmash of shit. I'm gonna clean it up this weekend and get some pics. Haven't really taken any good pictures lately...

What gears are you looking to run? I've been tempted to bump up to 3.90 or even 4.10 (through a TR6060), but I know the 3.73s are probably perfect for the turbos...

i was considering the 3.90's. But at this altitude the 4.10's will probably work better.

What about FI? Any plans for that in the future?
