Unfortunately life stepped in and clogged up the entire summer and fall. I missed my normal races, and after putting the little G/PS back together I have been itching to get out. While checking out that everything was back together correctly on a mellow test drive third gear decided to leave and make a mess of the trans. It didn't have that many passes on it but as we all know the T5 isn't robust. A new GForce WC T5 with more durability is installed. I had to change the gear set as the 3.35 cluster isn't available in the stronger trans.

I am finally ready to get out and test the freshened motor, new trans, and the few other upgrades. I need to find a new baseline for the car with the changes. Testing fuels too. The goal is to find the proper new launch and shift points. See if the tire psi's still stand, see which fuel the car likes best and find if the base timing is still best. The previous best ET is a 12.801 @ 104.xx, the goal is to go under it.

Wish us luck while we go have fun at Mid-Michigan on Sunday.
