Big Import event at Speedworld this weekend. Super Sunday has been pushed back to the 20th.

The next Test and Tune Sunday is on the 13th in Lakeland on the 1/8 mile track.

JD's06

Ok lets make it on the 20th.

09harleyrider

Absolutely! I just changed my oil and installed a fresh set of plugs. That's like a 50 horsepower increase isn't it?

Hope you have better luck than I did with those. Didn't hook very well for me on the street.

Arctic Vette

Im only going to the track with them, did you hook at the track?

realcanuk

Not very well, but out track is not known for prep. You will probably do better at a well prepped track.

Arctic Vette

Well damn, next step is slicks.. I hope these hook tho..

09harleyrider

The Mickeys hook very well on the new surface at Speedworld but I do light em up on the street.

When they were new the grip was phenomenal but after several passes they will lose some of their bite.

what happened to this thread?

Arctic Vette

Not much,

Installed fuel rails,
Solid trans Mounts,
Replaced all coolant hoses with variant/samco hoses (fixed overheating issue)
Now about to install a msd starter 5096..

russ472

so the hoses fixed your cooling problem or is there more to it?

Arctic Vette

Upon hose removal and replacing coolant tank i found where the ecs connection to the stat(extension pipe)had excess rtv and it had been clogging my rad. Also some of the oem hoses were badly corroded at the ārea where the head small hose goes into a T.. after putting these hoses on they are rock solid and you never need to worry about a leak they were extremely hard to put on because they dont stretch as much too.. obviously u have to pull off blower etc for this but well worth it...

On another note just finished starter and it wasnt easy because u have to pull header no way around it or youll just be wasting time...
