I went to have my car aligned w/my new Pedder's alignment kit, but I didn't go to the right place...while the car was in the air however...i realized i never fixed the exhaust hanger after my ZL1 driveline install... so next store at the local autoparts i found what i needed for $5...my cheapest mod to date

Boost Spike / Lean spike on gear shift
I finally made it to the track. But i have been fighting a boost/lean spike when shifting gears that results in knocking and of course pulled timing. I have another thread with lots of information an theories if anyone else is seeing boost spikes when shifting.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=298155 So i did beat my all time best of 11.6 with and 11.1 @ 132. No where near where i should be at this power level, but i never had a clean run w/out knock. Here is my best run of the night ...clearly lots of room for improvement. I know 99% of my problem is a driver mod, but i have a TPiS TB and RX Super Chiller on the way. My IATs were outragious (which wasn't my problem, but forced me to wait quite a while between passes). I'm also considering changing to a Speed Density tune to help with the lean spike during shifts. .

Next/last round
OK, so my last round of mods coming up, no seriously this time .
So i decided to stick with the 3" pulley for both street and track (running 14 deg timing street and 19 degree track), however my IATs with the small pulley are through the roof! Running 130-160 around town, and last weekend at the track was upto 200 . So i've placed my orders and am waiting impatiently:
I'm hoping the slicks help me mask my terrible launches and drop my 1.8 60' to a 1.6! That will help me get deep into the 10s. I'll also have some tuning refinement to do to get rid of my lean spike at gear shift...then i'll be golden.

How are you powdercoating the Bogarts? Rich told me over the winter to NOT powdercoat them. The baking process during the pc will severely weaken the wheels.
