Those are 3k if I remember correctly when I had my 911 race car. :shock:

You must be getting serious. :)

Yes if any other E driver are considering them, don't do it, too expensive. Just show up, drive at the DE pace, and have a beer and some laughs. :lol:

Just think, with the new headers and HP you'll now only be 24 seconds behind the leaders(Evan) instead of 27 seconds:shock:

I'm 50/50. Work is beyond insane right now. If I go I'll be leaving at midnight on Thursday and won't be worth a crap on Friday. We'll see....

Btw, I have Scargo headers but they were "only" around $1,200. They sell cheaper non-US made versions now.....which I was told by them will run about 5-10 less rwhp than the hand made ones. :roll:

This is cold.:D Of course, my first thought was with more power, he'll be hitting things a little faster. :twisted:

Packed up the car, truck, and trailer last night. Still need to change brake pads but I should have time to do that Thursday after I arrive. Too busy at work to knock that out before tomorrow.

Ya'll be safe down there! :D

Would rather not be reading any more "rollover" and "money shift threads".

I'd be happy to be only 27 seconds behind Evan at the end of the race. That's only 1-1/2 seconds/lap slower than he is. Unfortunately, I'm slower than that. And just as unfortunately, Frank is too! :twisted:

See you guys Saturday drive safe tomorrow

Well, I'm home! My car continued to have the "miss" in the 5000-6000 RPM range, actually worsening since Watkins Glen. Have found lots of small things, but none has fixed this problem (not all these problems were found by me):
Old wires (replaced)
Old rotor and cap (replaced)
Spark plugs replaced just for completeness
Leak in fuel pressure regulator (leaking fuel into vacuum line) (replaced)
2 injectors leaking fuel, not working correctly (all injectors replaced with new)
Fuel filter replaced.

At track:
data logger disconnected (no help)
questionable wiring on 4-pin connector DME harness to engine (re-soldered, twice)
coil? Ran with known good from Intersport (no help)
engine temperature sensor connector not as tight as we'd like - zip-tied together (no help)

I went out 4 times. Got 1 lap at speed the first time, but the miss came up in the first lap each other time and I came in. It actually got worse the 3rd time (known good coil and re-soldering the connector the first time). Put my coil back in and resoldered the connector again, and it was back to more typical (got almost a lap before the miss started).

Interestingly, while it's hard to accelerate with this, if I can get the revs up to about 6000, it will get better for [initially a minute, but at VIR only 20 seconds or less before the miss starts again].

Any suggestions appreciated. I've been told my DME is fine (I thought of that, and will likely try a loaner if we can't find another solution).
