Yeah! You make me want to get out and race tonight!

I'm pulling my rear mount tonight to fill it. I managed to find some hard assed polyurethane and I'm going to do it right this time and cut everything away.
I was very tempted to just do an exchange with that guy "pole..." but since I have to go under the car to lubricate everything and do some work, I may as well do it myself.

I went to the junkyard and got two new steering knuckles for $100. I've discovered that there is some damage to the drivers hub and passenger hub from when I had new wheel bearings pressed in. It has been causing a slight shudder in the front of the car so I am not taking any chances this time. It ends up being cheaper to get two knuckles with good bearings and hubs then to buy the stuff separately and have the stuff pressed again.

So I'm doing new hubs and filling the mount today. I'm adding a second sealed gellcell battery to the trunk today and improving some of the wiring.
After I get that done I'm going to build a new 70mm TB since I have the parts.
When I get the lower intake from SOMEONE I'm going to work on that thing to remove the secondaries and prep it to fit my converted ovalport heads.
Finally, I will install the new manifold with no secondaries and redyno. Then if I can, while I'm on the dyno I'll pull the 60mm TB and swap in the 70mm TB and then dyno again.
That should give me a before and after dyno of the manifold, then a dyno with the 70mm so that I can see what each one was worth.

After that I'm going to change out my turbo manifolds to some headers and dyno again to see what the final package looks like. If I get the SCT Racer package I'll truly have the ability to get the most out of my engine package.

So that is the plan.

Of course if anyone wants to buy it then, the price will be going up a little bit according to the amount of money I put into the new mods.
