Well, it's early on Saturday. I just went through tech here at Daytona.
Hopefully we put everything together correctly and the heat shields work properly.
Ryan_G overslept again, lol, but he made it here.

I say missed the first session but I actually got out for the last lap.
Ryan's car has been having ignition trouble all week but it turns out that it was oil fouling. Engine has to come out. So sad for him.
I let him drive mine for one of the sessions this afternoon.

I took advantage of the presence of a dyno here at the track and pulled 262 horsepower and 252 torque at about 15psi. The first run hit the overboost protection because the air was slightly cooler in the evening when I did the pull. You see the dips where it kicked in.

I'm going to reroute my intercooler piping on the hotside and get everything beaded since I am going to be running higher boost levels now. What was fine at 8-10 psi doesn't cut it at 15+ as I move forward.

My parents shared some old pictures of my first love with me and I thought I would share with you fellas. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic with Christmas upon us.
