    Sorry, but no time to do that. I'm leaving for Thunderhill Tuesday, back for the Knievel deal in Estes, next morning Arapaho car show, Thursday FOD for a recall on F40 and Tuesday, Canada till early July...I need more days during the month. Maybe after the New Orleans event before the Winter take down.
    I have fun, and that's a good thing!

    Roland - I won't be AT the BBQ on July 23, but maybe I'll be able to SEE it. I'll be flying home from the east coast that day. I'll try to talk the pilot into routing the plane over Fort C. :)

    So what did they do to the turbos? Did they put smaller impellers on the exhaust side?

    That's what I was guessing because a friend of mine does that with 2.0 Honda engines that he turbos. He was telling me that because the displacement is so small you have to other wise there is too much lag and the turbos won't come on until around 4,500 rpm. Do you have any plans on raising the boost back up?

    This is the plan but not before Dave Helms checks it out. I'll see him when back from the Concorso, no time before since I'm leaving for Thunderhill.
    Right now, I'm at 17psi but Dave said that I should get higher. Wait and see, or feel
    See you at the Concorso

    Does that mean I am going to have to get more tear-offs for my windshield? Or are you going to clean off all of the oil and coolant coming out of your car onto mine?

    Let the games begin!

    Oooooooooooh!

    I think he's calling you out Roland.



    On a side note we just dropped of a turbo for my buddy, at Inovative Turbo, to have them rebuild it. They are gonna replace the bearings and rebalance the blades. While we were there, we took a look at a custom job they were doing on a twin turbo Audi Quatro. There were shooting for 700hp!
