At first I needed to get the ancillary parts right (converter, gears, carb, etc.) then go to work on the tweaks (nitrous ratios, shock settings, chassis settings, etc.) and this engine now has over 60 trouble free passes. The last year of tuning I have not changed a nitrous jet. I have added a Digital 7, Sportsman Racepak and the like to help understand the car. Sorry fellas, the only video I have from Saturday night is of my rear tires where I learned how to make it 1.23 to the 60 without wheelstanding. A ton of hard work and new knowledge, very little hardware!! In fact, no engine hardware. So many have contributed to that knowledge I would need a page just to thank everyone but the shortlist includes Bill Anderson, Jim Roland, Kelly Blubaugh and Langer.
The D.A. was 2,400! Put me at sea level on a cool East Coast night and we have a solid 7! Understand I did not remove or disable a single part that was on it when I spent 3 hours cruising Central the week before or had on it at Norwalk: Big fans, 100A alternator.......
I feel proud that it is a Pontiac kicking "their" collective tails but I am most proud that it is a REAL street car whacking real race cars in classes calling for but not mandating street cars! A topic for a different day......
Keep the Faith!!!

........ thanks Robin, very kind words, but, make no bones about it, i've learned a ton from Robin, on many levels. Mr.Robin actually told us the car was gonna run a "Teen" before he went to the event, and this is not the first time he's done that, the point is, he is super smart, and knows that car top to bottom. Now if i can just get him to give me some Lotto numbers ???
