Best of luck to you Vinny. Thanks again for all the help you have given me and the late night phone calls.

In case you are wondering, it turned out the modular COP's wreck havic with the BS3 sensor wires. My Uegor issue was 100% interference. Once we wrapped the crank and cam sensor wires in microphone wire, then sealed them off and ran them down opposite sides of the block, the Uegor was a solid 28 and never looked back.

The only weird thing though is the Uegor still won't 'steady' until the car is fired. It just doesn't crank fast enough - which is weird - but no biggie. I honestly think the compression is higher than the 10:1 ordered because a compression test yielded 208-210 across the board. That really makes me think it is higher than 10:1 but I'm only using C16 anyway so whatever.

Best of luck and I'll keep you posted as well.

I'd like to wish Vinny the best of luck with the car. Like he said, nothing happened or went wrong in my opinion. Some people just don't work well together under stressful situations like race cars tend to be. No hard feelings on either side I don't think.

I feel we accomplished what Vinny asked us to do, which was to make him the quickest 3v in the World. It's time for the next chapter and I wish him the best of luck with the future of the car.

I have said all along that md is a great shop.
Ken has done an awesome job. I took something
that was said the wrong way.
We both sat down at Christmas and I think we
came to the best decision for the both of us
