who tuned it? Ill be out there regardless if the car is ready or not. Really all I need is slicks and I would just work my tail off to get the rest done.

john kerr @ imw. really nice guy. had A LOT of problems with those hargett clamps blowing off. ended up peeling the retaining ring groove back. blew every clamp atleast once. they're pure junk! john helped everyway possible though. when it was all said and done, i got the numbers i was hoping for (with the help of a ratchet strap holding the intercooler/charge pipes together) haha. so, as long as mazworx shipped my cage out when they said they were going to i should be ready. i can't wait to come out and play with you guys. it's only been 4 years. oh well, back to cutting these clamps off. lol

I am still debating on running or not. I don't have a cage in my car and really don't wanna spend $25 only to get 1 run in and then told I can't run again because my car is going too fast. Really don't feel like hitting the brakes at the end of the track either. Damn NHRA tracks and their rules lol

Haha 13.1@109 on 6lbs of boost. I will be well beyond 6lbs of boost by next Sunday lol. I will be in roll cage territory unfortunately. I never thought I would see the day that I hated going fast due to all the damn safety requirements. I understand they are there for a reason though...

Bwahaha I feel your pain my man. I might be running in a class with some friends where I will be more competitive, but we'll see what happens come Sunday.

Cliff, Im kind of giving up on the turbo car being ready but I wanted to ask if I can run my daily in AMS? I don't know if you remember from last year but I ran FIS with this shell. I have small holes drilled in the front bumper that do nothing to help performance and 2 small pieces of the rear interior panels are cut from when I had the cage in the car. Best it will go is low 14's/high 13's. Also I am allowed to run small slicks in AMS correct?

Holes I dont think they will care! if they do, tape them!

What bars do you need welded? Can you drive or transport it? If you can't find anybody to do it, jeff might have time. Let me know what you need done and I'll ask him. Wiring those in will be cake. What kind of tires do you need? Joe got your tune. Just got to borrow a harness from somebody and you're golden.
Joe, good luck tuning. Don't give skinny too much hp. Ha

I have piping, harnesses, map and wiring, at worst 235/60/15 MT radials for the front, etc, just don't want to rush it plus would for sure need something to tow it with and I haven't even attempted to do that yet
