Hopefully by the end of August. I will probably use the close 1/8 mile track for tuning the tranny and suspension.

Not sure if Pete wants me to post the grind or not. I was surprised it is still kind of a sleeper like the last cam (232/601 on 113).

Thanks Gary.
I am waiting on a new Walbro 450 pump and Hotwire kit to arrive. My fuel pressure is about 49lbs at idle and drops to 42 when revving at all.

Racetronix hasn't responded in email that it has shipped. I am starting to worry it will not arrive for this weekend. Time is short.

Sounds great Pitt! Are you going to bring it to the LS Fest? That would be a good place to get it dialed in. Track prep there last year was pretty good, but it's still pretty hot in BG in early September.

Hey Jim,
That was my plan. Rick and I both plan to run our junk and get the bugs worked out for the MIR event.

I may need a meth kit because of the heat.
I am set back a week now as my Hotwire kit for the fuel pump won't be here till Monday (going to lose this weekend). Time is flying by

I talked to Pete yesterday and he wants to come with me for the dyno tuning.

We are going, last year was a blast, I ran in the "true street" class which actually was great fun, and the 30 mile drive before the finals on Saturday was actually at least 30 miles. Due to the very decent track prep at Beech Bend, I screwed up 2 out of 3 launches in the finals, (bogged) and it cost me 1st place in the 11.0 bracket! That WILL NOT happen this year! I'm "in it to win it". We will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express on Three Springs Road In BG. They should be one of the host hotels and usually offer a discount to all Fest participants.
Hope to see you there Pete!

Jimbo
