Time to start 2008's thread. Maybe this will force me to get off my ass and work on the car.

I'm still teetering on whether to upgrade the turbo. I've got two 14b center cartridges coming from a guy at work so I should be able to get it running pretty cheap. I've been looking at 16, 18 and 20g upgrades on the boards and ebay so we'll see what come out of that.

The other path is to drop some more weight, throw in some cams and see if I can get in the 11's on the 14b.

This weeks plan is to finish tearing down the bottom end and checking bearings as well as getting the head ready to go back to the machine shop.

I do have the first version of a t-shirt I will be getting for this years Bracket Season

You got a race Turbo...I predict low 14's for her next outing! biggrin.gif

Yeah Kicks, we had about 12 people come out to race plus some wifes took some runs. Everything from two 9 sec cars pulling wheelies (a red Formula and Drwizrd's on CSS purple Mustang), couple crotch rockets, an early big block vette, late model Caddy, Crown Vic, Focus, family mini-van and a few others. Was a interesting pit scene... blink.gif Not all cars are earth shattering, but everybody was competiting in their own speed range.

Most importantly, everyone drove home in one piece....a race occurance for our little DAXCON outing! Somebody usally breaks something.
