Dude.... hook it up! Maybe we need to co drive if you have connections for accommodations like that!

Marc whats the problem? Quit and file, you will be happier in the end. Lets campaign for a season, it is only a few weekend and then 11 days of time. You could rock-star it (fly in) to each event and I will haul the stuff and car. That way you stay employed and married, just have to find those frequent flier miles.

Weekend events:
DC - Pro
Finger Lakes - Tour - this I think will be somewhere else next year
Toledo - Pro

Then there is Nationals which could be 4-11 days depending on how you do it. Its not that many days if you look at it like this....

My thought behind this is a new daily driver for me to get out of the truck. Truck is running good so I am set with a tow vehicle and trailer for years to come with the occasional nickel and dime repair.

Then the car needs to see a dyno already, I have cam gears and have not adjusted them as of yet, so there should be some gains to be found. I really want my boost to come on sooner and try and get some more low end power. I have a electronic boost controller (Perrin) that is not installed, so maybe that would help with my boost levels better than a MBC does (Forge).

Good luck Marc! It sounds like it will be a beast!
I want to drive it this winter, maybe I should sell all my **** and codrive with you! Not that you are asking or anything! We could do your car to the hilt for SM and go win a jacket. It is kind of possible, with the right tool one of us could get lucky at Nats! I have tires wheels so we would have fresh rubber to practice and compete with. We would need some aero, the big wing and front spoiler it would be Hella tight or something like that! I am telling you, say the word and I will list my car for sale! Winning BSP run at Nats will bring some $ for my car... perfect time to sell
Find me a good used 6 speed and u can have my mint 5 er!

Done, my car has a perfectly fine 6 speed with no known problems. Right now all I need is a clutch rebuild for my Exedy Twin, not that has anything to do with it. MY trans has approx 65000 miles on it. Let me know if you want to trade, I will be ready in approx a month to do this if you want.

Andy should buy that just for the rims.

I'm right in Lansdale if anyone is interested and wants me to take a look at it for them/with them. I think the local shop he was talking about is RT Tuning, lol.
