Don't know about the Fourth, but I'll be checking the SECC site to find out when they'll rent Speedworld again so we can run 'em like we brung 'em. I'm hoping to get all us fat guys in fast verts at the track this year. They usually have a fall date so the weather will be cooler.

Roxxane should be fine-tuned by then (knocking on wood), Dawg will have something else modded, Chris's grean meanie will sound legal at least, and someone might just buy Bob's Kenne Bell vert that turned quick time for 2008. You know my fat ass will be there trying for an eleven and hoping Chad can't hook! :burnout2:burnout2

:cfdeadagain Consider this the "preamble" to the Fastest Vert challenge. Sucka.

Like you said, only if he can hook. I beat Phil (1EvilC5) last time because he could not put the power down. ;)

The only decisions I see there are spin, spin a lot, and spin so furiously you thing you're in a Top Fuel Dragster with space saver spares mounted on the rear. Dood, you spent like 100 grand so far, pop the extra G for a decent set of rubber. Just not too decent, or you'll learn what Transmissions cost.

Ok. I read the ACE update sent to my E mail thinking someone named Roxanne (not a car mind you) had a heart transplant. I was like, HOLY SHIT!!!! And what do I find? An 8 month old thread of an engine rebuild only to find it blew up. At least no one had a REAL heart transplant, but damn....8 months later? What's up with that? Dude, take out a second mortgage on your house and rebuild the damn thing already!!! Time is ticking!!!! Trust me, I know how you feel. My ride was down for a good 7 months in Germany as well. Bummer. So, how far along is it? We can rebuild her...faster.....stronger.... Oh wait...That was the bionic woman.

Good luck!!!

Sorry for the delay..(insert lame excuse here)

UPDATE June 6 2009 (day 331)

Well the RSI Stage 3 Fuel system is in. As with ANY custom system there are going to be some snags. Read: delays

I cannot say how happy I am about this setup. It is slick, OEM-ish looking, and done right.

The Top Hat installed.

I hope there is enough slack in the lines? LOL

Mike at LPM putting in the sweet rails. Yummy.

The install went Semi-Smooth. We were missing a 6” line from the kit. So there was a delay in getting AN fittings and the GM Fuel Male-to-AN-6 fitting was made incorrectly. While it looked ok, the male part was too small in diameter. It did ‘click’ into place but one gas was added it leaked a lot. LPM had to go and get a replacement (IE; half a day wasted driving across town for part)

Once installed a special sealant is used to make sure nothing leaks. The catch is that the sealant takes time to cure. Once Cured then LPM adds Gas and waits overnight again to see if there are any leaks (weeping, seeping type stuff). There was a small one so it had to be broken down, sealed up again, let cure, then add gas. Another day gone.

At this moment there are no leaks, and the pumps are in good working order. The under pinning’s (heat shields n’ stuff) are back on, and on Monday the car should be off the Lift.

Now we throw up the Nic Bat signal into the night sky and wait for the tuning to begin.

..fingers crossed no more Murphy’s...

That sounds like good news, just hope it is and all will be well in the world once the bat signal has been responded to!!!

Tuning at just the right time of year to meet your goal of no issues driving the beast here in the inferno.

The RSI stuff looks....nice. :banannadance:
