Think I went a little nuts! Will need to delay track day?

Well, the SC came in today, so here's what I have recieved and ordered.

1. Procharger F1 supercharger
2. heads are out being ported
3. shortblock has been rebuilt
4. race TH400 from Rossler
5. Coan converter
6. LJ's low impedance injector driver
7. car is scheduled for roll cage completion at G-Force in March
8. 83lb Siemans injectors
9. new cam, springs, and lifters
10. C5 brake upgrade
11. 17x9" ZR1 style wheels with BFG G-Force KDW 285/17
12. new springs, shocks, sway bars
13. lot's of stuff like a shifter, 15" wheels and race tires, possible dual fuel pump setup, etc. need still to be selected and ordered.

This really got out of hand! I guess I am looking for nines, easy at this point. All this has to come together, be installed, and tuned before getting the car out. Realisitically, I am hoping for mid-May.

Consequently, is there still interested in a track day if it mid or late May?

Thumbs up

Rich: You could open a speed shop out of your house .

btw...do you have any other pics of your car (interested in on the track shots, underhood, and interior ones) handy? RTR350@aol.com if you do .

Keep us updated on the buildup. Getting the parts in is half the fun (until you have to pay the CC! )

I don't have too many pics, but I emailed you my favorite. It's the burnout on my fastest run last season.

Its funny how buildups like this soon get bigger and bigger

Anytime on the track Rich, whatever is good for you.

I am going for some early season runs at Cecil or Atco hopefully in early March in hopes of a good NA time.

Rich, is it sill cool if I borrow your ETs/wheels for a few runs at the track in March?

Thanks again
Jason

Whatever is good for you Rich, my plans got set back a little bit now too. Im getting my hands on some LT4 heads, intake, and 1.6rr in trade for my A4 stuff and cash. So itll be a little longer to have the heads ported and stuff. Besides that the bottom end should be back later this week and ready for assembly.

Rich I do start my clinical rotations on May 28th so everything from that point on I cannot guarentee at all.

Also Rich who is porting your heads? Bret and I are trying to find someone who ports a killer set of LT4's...

Matt just in case you forgot, remember I told you about the local pro-mod engine building friend, who ports heads crazy for a good buck. If you are interested give me a call

F-bud: I wonder if it's the same guy? I'll bet it is. He works "on the side" and is pretty busy. Do you want contact information? I will see if he is interested in more work.
