A big shout out to a local vendor for Adams Polishing Products...

Called him, discussed my needs and concerns, and was hooked up with two box's and a bucket to address them...

Met with him to pick up the items and he went over all of them with me, gave me some heelpful pointers and steered me to Adams and Junkmans videos...

Well...

Brandi appears to be headed back into the hospital Monday...

We are looking to fix the transmission and we also need to address a potential issue with the drivers side wastegate... It appears a diaghram may have gone awol... so, we are going to kill several birds with one stone.... Corey is going to talk with the manufacturer of the wastegate rather than where we got it from... I am not going back down that road...My wallet and my backside are still hurting from the last effort along that road...

I'm going to talk to the wife and see if I can order the nine inch kit from DSS while she's in the hospital and go ahead and get the trans, the diff and all ready at the same time...

If so... then it's time to see what we can ring out of her with some race fuel and a boost boost.... After that, it's time for some laughing gas and really ring her out...

I would like to be able to look back and say we did... but... some things are/were not within our control... live and learn on that aspect... but, like I've said all along... Brandi will run when she's ready and not before...

Pete, I hope all is going well for you out there in the land where nothing ever happens since no one ever talks about what they did while they were there.... Joe called me yesterday afternoon... He was with Tim from RPM Rollbars... I would have liked to have had a chance to meet him and thank him for all the help he has been with my cage.... Well, now hopefully I'll meet him and John Nguyen and others involved at the Fest...

I was not look in the rear view mirror or second guessing the build. I was looking ahead. Get the 9" while she is in the 'hospital'.

It has been a fabulous SEMA. From the GM Monday night ****tail party to the closing bell. It has been wall to wall meetings. I missed so many great cars and some C5 members too. There are not enough hours in the day.

Brandi's going to be a beast! What hp numbers are you looking for for the mile? I know you said 1000 gets you to 200mph (or something like that).

Is this 9" axle a solid axle?
