Finally got my pillar pod, boost gauge and pyrometer gauge installed. Many, many thanks to hyracer (Deen) for coming over Saturday morning and using his expertise to get everything installed. It took longer than we expected but we got it done and I'm very happy
. Tried to take pics but it's night time and the flash reflects on the gauges and the pic is poor. Will take pics on Monday before I go to work.....
When we were done Deen and I went for a spin on the back roads. He was impressed with how hard my GT pulls with Adam's V.A.K. ucp. He's a convert now as he wants one, too. Tried to talk me into selling him mine. HA HA HA. Not a chance.
.....Deen brought his 700 hp Vette to my place in it's trailer. I couldn't help but drool [
]. It looks so cool with that big blower. He spent the night and left early Sunday morning for the Woodburn track. I met up with him later and got to meet his daughter Stacy, a very nice young lady and a drag racer. I missed his first run. Stacy took the second run but something went wrong down the track and it died at the end of her run. She had to be towed back. Deen figured it might be the battery wasn't holding a full charge as his Vette doesn't have an alternator and the battery needs to be charged after every run. So he charged it an extra length of time and Stacy took the third run. MAN! 135 mph in the quarter and she was holding back and not giving it full throttle. Seems they had to hold back because if it's too fast then it moves up in class and the driver needs to be licensed and all kinds of extra safety equipment has to be installed. Deen says he'll have to detune it. That brought a laugh from me because here we all are trying to make our GT's go faster and he needs to detune his Vette because it's too fast. It was a great day....Well, looks like I hijacked my own thread. Oh well, I'm still pumped from all of that horsepower at the track [8)]
