Thanks! This week hoping to sort out the following or at least look into it Fuel pumps arent getting signal to relay i dont think. drove it home with the pumps manually turned on yesterday. Switched a relay when i got home. same thing. Didn’t feel like looking into it. Speedo/vss not working. hopefully i didn’t blow up the plastic deal inside the trans lol. This isnt a huge priority but it was nice when the speedo was working Install radio and speakers. Must blast lil debbie while cruising. More burnouts ---

The 4th of July burnout vid sounds more like a Discovery Channel documentary on F-14 Tomcats cat-shooting. My desk lifted about 8". Four-digit torque. Any more left in the wick? 🙂 ---

Yes. Way more left in it. We only did two pulls. No tune adjusting and could have kept turning it up. I called it good for now. Motor wont live forever at that power level but late season pending still in one piece ill go back for four digits worth of hp. ---

Fuel pumps - Popped a 20amp fuse up front to the wire from the ecu to fuel pump relay. Strange…something must have shorted. Radio - Installed tunes! New Pioneer bluetooth/aux/usb radio and Memphis 6x9s. Streetcar4L Speedo - didn’t look at it. Too lazy to get under car. Tonight I dont want to be out there long but I am going to assemble a small roadside tool kit since I am still finding bugs as I drive more. Also going to drop the front swaybar 1 - because racecar and 2 - to see how it feels. Right now it is much tighter up front and it might feel a little more natural without it. ---
