Great to see everything worked out!11.72 @ 121 w/1.79 60 ft so far. best 60ft of the year is 1.64
I have 8 passes on the car and I have all 3 of my goals for the year completed
1.70 or better 60 ft.....check
120 mph trap.............check
11.99 et....................check
Currently the rear corners of the oil pan are leaking. Creates a nice James Bond smoke screen under WOT so I will be fixing that asap with some factory oil pan rails I picked up. The motor leaked on the engine stand and we pulled the pan and resealed it at that point but it didn't hold for long, since some one tightened the fuck out of the pan and the rails of it are waffled.
The car still has the factory start and it's hating life with the compression of the motor. 125,000+ miles and 15 years, it owes me nothing, so a Powermaster mini torque upgrade will be on it's way soon.
I ordered a MAC full catback for the car to get to sound out from under the car, I'm more than tired of my ears ringing after driving it and using ear plugs on long cruises for the drone. That is suppose to be here by the end of the week.
Small issues here and there with the tune, cold start is not completely happy, warm idle surges some, I get an occaision check engine light while cruising and at the top of gears at WOT. I believe the last two are a problem with my O2s, one of both might be bad or going. I know they are 2 years old now, went through tuning the old motor, nitrous, and tuning this motor. Also the one was covered in oil from my pan, and it even got in the connector. I brake cleaned connectors and sensors and I'm having less CEL at crusing so I think they might be my issue, more than the tune.
I might sound like a cheap chooch but I'm trying to really make sure it is them befiore I go drop $100 for 2 new ones.
Thats about it for the issues with the car for now. All and all its going ok, the oil leak pisses me off because I can't park in people's driveways or go WOT (smoke screen behind car) right now but they are small things and I'm hoping the fixes go smoothly.
Car will def. be at the track for the July 25th MOMs race, maybe before. I'm still debating on if I want to hook up the 2-step on the car yet.

^ We need to talk about my WOT again, on a cold night last thursday I got another CEL at the top of 3rd and it felt kinda slower, maybe going lean again. I'm not sure if it was the temps or my O2s that are the issue. Ever since I get a CEL after backing off from WOT, not sure if it is getting tripped from the WOT or the decel. from it.
God I love this car......ugh
But I know the issues will be worked out, the tune is 90% there, just some small things that take time. I'm gonna make the car more reliable with the fixing the oil leak, starter, and catback before getting the tune polished up.

I think I'm content to let the car sit for awhile bec more is breaking and I'm out of patiences and funds. Car needs:
'rear main seal
'tune might need to be fixed, but my issues might be mechanical
'possibly a fuel pump or two oxygen sensors if it's not the tune
'I might need a MAF because I seem to keep maxing mine out
'car needs a starter
'catback - but that's coming in the mail this week.
'still need 15" drag wheels especially since my 16" mickeys are dead
'car has a voltage issue, the volt meter pegged leaving pat's shop and will only go down at idle with a bunch of electronic things on. I don't know if it was the alternator or the voltage regulator. I'll have the alt. checked out since it's new but if it's the voltage reg i'm content to let it sit bec I have no more patiences to work on it.
Update: took the alt. back to the store and it def. took a shit, new one should be in today under warrenty
