They said 7-10pm. I'm probably just heading there by myself cause I'll be doing stuff all day and not 100% when I'll be ready to go.

11secdsm's atco news has me wanting to change my plan and go there now anyway so i'll have to see whats up once the day gets rolling tomorrow.

hmmm if all 4 of you are racing it should be a interesting night. Wonder how many locals we could scrounge up in time? I'd love to go and at least hang out and video cause i'm sure Petey will probably sit back with a beer like always lol
I'll think it over as the day goes cause i have some plans during the day and i'm not sure where i'll end up.

Couple CRAPPY videos of the autoX yesterday:

I'm really disappointed with them but i figured i post them anyway because i was playing around with my camera this morning. I have some others but with the generator making a ton of noise in the background you can barely hear the cars.
I forget what is the guy with the burnt rear bumper's username on here?

would i have to buy a separate o2 housing if i go with the short DP?

and should i have the wideband bung in the DP or whatever i choose to replace the cat with? i am getting it for tuning purposes mainly.

man, this is new territory for me. turboback that is.

what about passing emissions?
Emissions will not be a problem if you have all the emissions equipment. I passed last year with an external wastegate dumped to the atmosphere, a stroker motor, SC61, cams 1000cc injectors blah blah blah and they didn't even question it. The damn thing barely idled but it went through. A catback in PA isn't going to be a problem. If you decide to eliminate the CAT though and get caught it's not going to pass visually so make sure it's well hidden. Why not an AMS system? They add a good bit of power and sound really good. Either way, the sound of an exhaust becomes routing after a while and it probably won't bother you.
The wideband should be on the downpipe, away from the turbo about 16-18" or so. I currently have mine about 8" away and I've gone through 2 Bosch sensors from overheating. That's the first thing to get relocated after the new turbo setup goes on this weekend. The only real issue is making sure it's before the cat (if you run one) so as not to mess with the readings.

Hey.....TO HELL WITH YOU PETEY!!! . I'm kicking myself in the head for this everyday. I should have waited till the winter to get some powdercoating done. Hey by the way, do you think I'll be ok to run on waste gate pressure till I get the new tune? As you know I've added the 65mm TB and the Full-Race mani.

I can't make anything on the weekdays since I'm in Scranton for the next few weeks. Someone update me on Chris' times with his new APAT power please!

Is Ben's car finally running with the new setup? I guess its gone through a 2nd session with APAT at the Krazy Horse? Quit hiding the numbers Ben!!!

Dave, when are you gonna get APAT badged? Hurry up son!
