    They just opened one of our local dragstrips up this past saturday for test and tune. Gosh, its been 15 yrs since I raced. Wouldnt mind spending $10 to run down the track a few times.

    Well... started up the car the other day and the old pressure reads 300. Great! Oil pressure sending unit went belly up. 90 minutes or so worth of work and out with the old and in with the new!

    Wish I had know that the replacement wasn't a brass fitting... I might be doing this again sooner than I'd hope.

    Yay!

    Yessir! Once I saw Electron Blue for the first time I knew that it was the one for me for sure! Thanks for the kind words. Couple cool things in the pipeline for this build.

    Looks like a pretty sweet trip on some twisties. We've got "tail of the dragon" just north of me. Havnt been yet but got some friends that live up that way and drive it every other weekend.

    I've got some dyno time and a tune coming up on the 19th for the scat pack and will be discussing my engine build.

    I am all about an engine build! That is awesome. My car has run Tail of the Dragon haha... Unfortunately I have not. Someday hopefully

    This was almost the same way. Lived right next to it for almost 2 years and just never did it. Crazy the things we neglect to do sometimes that are right out our back window.
