Oh by the way, I want to thank you guys for the good company and hospitality. It's nice to know people when you're at an event like this.

Thanks guys for all the compliments. First I'd like to thank Pistol for helping me out along the way with this new setup. Without his tune, I probably wouldn't be hitting 126 trap speeds spinning first and a little bit of second. Jim, sorry to see the evo take a rest for the day but she was runnin really good today, wouldn't ya say? And again, thank you for letting me use the jacket. They probably would of gave me a hard time without it. Everyone else, thanks for comming out for the fun-filled day and for all the pictures and videos that you guys posted. And for everyone else that didn't see what I got, here she is:



And we all know that I couldn't do it without this:



And again, thanks, you guys are awesome!

BTW- ImportDPS, I think your talking about another Ben because I got my clutch from someone else. I did buy my fuel pump from you guys, though

Was good times yesterday. Congrats to Ben again, sorry I missed the celebration at the Grease Lodge with you guys. I was getting ready to drive to Scranton when we talked.
Congrats to Jim also...although you broke, you did hit your goal for the day, running on some traction-prone falkens. Get it back together and let's get 11.3 started!

Congrats on the win man!
car looked like it was running very well

Petey looks looks like a very consistant driver/car

I shoulda broke my clutch in on the track yesterday. lol
I pulled on the highway on the way home and was wondering why it felt like a whole new monster. I didnt even think to look at gauges.
Well i did a pull this mornign too to get out of traffic and felt insane. Im like WTF, this cant be. . . .
So I gave it a little boost inth and saw 31PSi quick and got out of it. hahahahaha
I gotta check to see if a vac line got knocked off when my clutch was done. If not, then I guess crushing my IX valve helped quite a bit on boost levels and really was leaking a bit. I didnt do a full on run yet. Im gonna check the lines and then turn the EBC down and retune it to set pressure and see what I can hold to redline now.

well not really cuz it held it fine and didnt do anything crazy. I pushed it a little on the way home and didnt even think to look at the gauges cuz I didnt change anything drastic that i thought would do that.

But new clutch and crushed BOV apparently made a world of difference. I am in belief that I have a monster on my hands now. It deff just woke up after a long hibernation.

i am still fighting with the intake charge getting a litle hotter then Id like, but Ill take another crack at it.
Heat is gonna kill me still, but I am confident "if" i can launch it in october weather it will run a decent time slip. lol
I think some people that see it on the street will be pleasantly surprised with it now seeming how they thought it was hella fast at the beginning of the summer.

I checked and there is no vac line off, so I gotta put the gains down on the EBC and do a few pulls to see what i can hold to redline and see what kinda power it makes on a dyno one day.

What time did you leave? we bounced at like 3:45 cuz I didnt see anyone else around I knew.

I left just after 3pm. It was a long day in the sun. I wish I would of hung out with you guys more, but I didn't feel like walking around trying to find everyone in the heat. I will catch up with you again soon.

I'd like to see what your car is capable of now too. It should really rip.
