Great numbers Gene...

I'm working through the fuel.... but pulling good boost... I hit 12 last time out... I'm still a little lean.... so I'm upping the PE...

Good to know you were able to backup the dyno numbers...

Makes note ~11.7 time to beat~

Everything On Your car Must Be Just Like Mine. Remember All The New Mods From Greg Are From My Car. so i know your car looks good. I New You Would Love The Set-up. You Cant See Anything. You Did One Hell of a job by your self. I'll Say That. i just dont have the time. Really Looks Great. Hows The Tune Coming? Greg Give any Specs? When You Coming Our Way Again. Iam Hungry. what iam looking for right now is to get this car completely done. engine, trans and body. greenwood ask me to send the car down to get all the flex out. god i hope i have this car by summer done. carlisle with greenwoods booth. c4, c5, c6 wish you guys could come. they are great guys also, man they like to party.

Hi gene,

Thanks, I'm hoping to be back out your way in mid October, I have some stuff going in near Greg's place.

The car is working great I'm getting 11.5 pounds of boost, I'm guessing the reason is altitude I'm like at 1400.. or is could still be the tune...

The fuel is almost finished... I'm finally where the fuel needs to be, the water is kicking on too soon, so now I need to move it up a pound and see what happens, it is lugging down on the low end as it is seeing boost very quick now. I'm seeing 28 degrees at 5500 rpm ZERO knock...

So there is more to go...

Mo
