    Of course you guys will be there. Talk is cheap but actual ET's really say something. I'm not bringing a 350 car but I will be making the tow out. However, I'll be watching the weather closely. A 7 hour tow is a little too far just to get rained on. Keeping my fingers crossed for dry and reasonably cool(not 90*).

    What's the problem, the engine is in there with headers so it looks like you're not ready to turbo it yet so you should be able to start the engine with a couple hours of work looks like in the pic. :Do No: 2 hours of work shouldn't take 2 months, what's up? Is the wedding planning taking up to much time? When is the date? The "date" doesn't coincide with the meet does it? If so I think you can be excused. LOL :beer

    Unfortunately doesn't seem like I will be doing the turbos this season. Hopefully this winter I will.

    The wedding is June 4th so It's been hard to get to the shop with this rush wedding planning. There isn't a ton of work but it always seems like something comes up.

    I have to finish getting the trans in so I can measure for a new driveshaft, gotta finish all the ecu wiring. Make coil brackets, reroute fuel lines, make a crank sensor bracket, pin the trigger wheel once I find out where it needs to be on the pulley. It is close though =p

    I just want to get a few hundred miles on the car before making the drive to the event. A long road trip is a terrible place to discover a driveabillity issue haha

    The current density altitude for Norwalk Raceway at 4PM today is 3215 feet. 89.1*, barometer 29.97, 53% humidity. Track elevation is 849 feet above sea level. I wish you guys luck, but you will not be setting any records I fear.

    I hear you Steve, they're calling for a high of 96* for Norwalk tomorrow!! :eek2:

    Was considering to go but I think I'll stay here where it is only suppose to be a high of 89* tomorrow. Good luck to all that are going to endure the elements to attend, have fun!!(and drink plenty of water!)
