My hands and lower arms looks like I have been fighting with cats and losing. Hope to be at BG next week to race and test.

Are you still running FS or did you convert Dumbo to regular stock class?

FS/D I am way to deep in to it to change now but I have the 6.1 DP that came with the car and a replacement 09 street engine and a 15 6.4 street engine just in case.

I had to get more tie raps and band aids. I am about to believe that no matter how many times you route and re route sensor wires it is never what you are satisfied with.
I am hopeful that I can get the car on the scales this weekend.

Dumbo is obviously not a joy to work on.

Part of the problem is me and my size.

Good thing you don’t have a late 60’s Mustang with an FE. LOL

Had a neighbor that had a 69 car with 428 and one really long Saturday we installing them in the parking lot of the apartment. The bottom bolts were a real challenge. Worst thing eight pipes and no instructions. It did not go smoothly.

With every zip tie you use cut close, then always use a bic lighter on the cut tail to slightly melt and dull the end. Works on FIRST High School robots and autos.

Thank me later. It is fast and efficient.

Bad news. For some reason I have misplaced my AW-32 adapter for the regulator for the nitrogen cylinder. Shocks get around 125 psi of nitrogen to make them work. I order two of them and should be here next week. We are going to miss D3 Pts race at BG. No way we can be ready by Thursday test and tune.
And so it goes
