Congrats Mike. No worries about typing out a novel in your first post. It made it all that more entertaining. I can't believe your guys wrenched in that heat. I've been spoiled from working in a/c shops. But I do know what they went through swapping the t-cases in the heat AND ON THE GROUND.

Did you guys just get fresh tires or did you go with a taller tire? From the looks of your other vid you needed a tire with more wrinkle.

Big props to you and all those involved! Without a doubt you will surely see even quicker times!

Question though...sort of off topic but you brought it up in your original post...I thought Brian was now running a BR Stage 3 block? I know that he had one built, was running the stock block with the FP Red setup, and was going to switch over to the BR block with the new turbo setup. You stated that his engine finally gave up...and that would imply that he hadn't swapped in the BR block. Why not?

Brian was NEVER running stock motor with FP red.. his car has been running the Buschur motor since it was on stock turbo running low 10's.. He had plenty of dyno runs, track passes and street passes before it gave out..

yes we got a 26" tall tire from 24.5.. It definitely help straighten the car.. Along with the Crispeed Corner Balance..
