Another pic of the melted tank episode. Still not sure how this happened yet....

Call me "Good sir Watson" but I believe your exhaust made contact with the gas tank.

Jokes aside - as usual, Brent, awesome work. I've only ever seen you and Jim both go to the level of detail on your cars. The heat shields for the exhaust is a nice touch.

car is looking awfully dirty in these pics... WTF?

Should have bought a white car I guess, huh?

Thanks B! Cant too much credit at this phase other than an advisor....the guys doing the work right now get the finished effort cred. The shields are made out of aluminum (sorry Gary ) and will have them coated once I get the car back. You know....so they stay purty

is it gonna make it to EL on Sunday?

They are easier to keep looking clean. Black gets dirty sitting in the garage under the cover

Thats OK I'm Sure they will be polished to a mirror like finish.


Attention to detail is great I can't wait to see it in person at the Berger show in August

They say, getting 95% there is easy....it's the last 5 that are a *****. Soooooo true...


After a week of tweaking the exhaust, part interferences, move this, adjust that, etc this thing is ready for the rollers. Now if would stop eatin plugs like m&ms we might get this turd tuned. I hate cars......

exactly....trying to confirm spark or bad injector(s).

Compression ratio?

If you're fouling plugs at idle...no wonder you melted the tank

Any update? I've been playing around with the tune on my IROC, I can lean out the idle (w/ minimal calculated load) when at operating temp and it is helping with cat/after cat temps. Idle has to be set a bit higher than I wanted though.
