A nice country road drive to the airfield.

Here is the field, ready for Round 1

Here is my Round 1 line up, good guy, but yeah, I lost. Though I am running far less than the potential of the car. But, I still lost. Supercharged '06 GTO.

The rain ended the racing early for the day. I got home in time to load up the family in the Buick and head out to Chili's.

Here are the class winners from RRIII

So, here is where I am now.

Picked up a Walbro E85 pump, one for me, one to replace the bad pump in Adam's car.

http://kimberlite-films.com/hosting/99VR4/99VR4_119.jpg

I installed the pump, cussed out the stock hanger, as it is a piece of shit, but I got the new pump on and back installed.

She starts right up, and WOW I have fuel pressure, I try to lower the PSI as the AEM FPR was cranked up to work with the aeromotive pump....crap, I can't get it to go below 55 psi...crap, at 55 psi it is overrunning the AEM FPR and fuel is seeping out past the seals....crap. :(

So, I've thrown in the towel and decided to spend money to do it right, and get it done.

Got a custom FPR with stainless filter kit from Ninja.

And I caved and bought one of these from GZP.

After this, my fuel system will be rocking. And ready for a surge tank if I every actually do need one.

I'll be back on the dyno to get a real number after all of this is installed.

And just to show a full timeline. I started this WHOLE project and thread when Tiffany was pregnant with this little man.

Had to be, paid for the event a few months in advance, didn't want to be stuck with a $300 spectator ticket. haha

You just need a dedicated racecar in your stable :suspect:

If I had a stable, I'd be adding this first. A '71 Skyline 2000GT GT-R clone

Then, race car. ;)

You have everything in yet?

Nope, still waiting on the fuel hat from fabbarage, Hans gave me a heads up that they were backed up so he had them ship one direct my way since GZP didn't have any on hand. I am supposed to be getting it in this week. :)
