Got her up and running - great to hear! Spools not that bad is it? I never could tell on the street with it, except in tight turns in the parking lots....

let me know on that other stuff...have another guy interested and told him you were debating...

Now you just have to get it to do what I had it doing in my signiture clip! She'll do it time and time again for you.

Good stuff Fred.

Does it feel any quicker in the Butt-O-Meter?
Must be nice to have the speedo back.

Cayuga on the 12th?

Do you have to break in a new tc???? Yes Jeff let's go on the 12th. Jesse you were supposed to get back to me with a price. It seems to be shifting at a higher rpm or I just had my foot into it a little harder. I haven't got on it too hard yet so the butometer couldn't really tell.

No break in required. After the first couple of lock up cycles, the friction lining will be bedded in. Beat it like it owes you money

Sounds great Fred. Is it shifting at a little higher rpm when you leave it in "D"? This "should" get you into the solid 11's. Wicked! I might be in for the 12th. I am having a few issues with my car, that I need to iron out when I get time.

Nah, even with a full pocket of money, there are still problems and delays.
Sami will be racing with you guys soon. Cayuga will be his new home track.

I guess it's safe to say he won't be here for the 12th.

When I was in Atlanta last week, he mentioned May 28 as the possible day.
