Alyssa (NeatoCheatoFB on the evil forum) took all the pics. There is a link to her photobucket dealie in the DGRR section over there. Aside from that, maybe PM her? She still has my camera. I didn't take ONE picture except for a few on my phone. She had the camera almost the entire trip and true to form, my car needed constant attention

Good to meet you too Bill. Gladly, I think I promised 3 rides and one person to drive her. I better not have any mechanical problems next year. Which means I better hop on the underbody cancer and the tranny swap EARLY so I'm not thrashing literaly the day we're supposed to leave.

Oh believe me, I know all about that. I expected to get all my duct work done in a weekend, took me two weeks. Ridiculous. The Belly pan I should be able to get done in a weekend though...... famous last words. It should be realatively simple. Ducting the big brake upgrade will be something interesting though..... oops, I said too much

Well I don't think the numbers will be all that stellar because the motor is hurt. She's low on compression because of the Hank Mays Goodyear overheating and busted oil line fiasco. Actually have an adjuster coming to the dyno session on the 16th (been booked) so we can run her on the dyno to prove to them that she's low on power and run a compression test to show that she is WAY low. Last time I ran a comp test she was @ 90psi when a week earlier she was @ 110 with 50 miles on the engine. They basically owe me a new motor. I'm going to run this motor for the rest of the year and enjoy the car. When I break her down for the cancer and tranny, I'll rebuild her then. I would still like to see 350 RWHP though. Even though the motor is weak, I THINK she is still capable of that. Time will tell..... like three weeks time will tell.

I'm really pissed becuase I wanted to do this motor in three stages and get HP numbers from all three stages.

Stage 1 - BONE stock twins
Stage 2 - Ported twins
Stage 3 - BNR Stage 3 twins.

With a hurt motor I don't think I'll have reliable data for stage 1. I suppose I could run stage 2 at 7k and wastegate and see what she does and make an educated guess as to the MAX the stockers wold make, but it's a guess, not a dyno sheet. Whatever, they're gonna pay.... and pay large.
