I walk in and talk to the two girls behind the counter(one was Dave's wife I recognized from the show) and the other turned out to be Stephanie Johnson. I didn't even know It was her until we started talking about my little project and told her I run it at thunder valley, and she was like "what color is your Camaro?" turns out she knows the car and knows my brother, aparently they went to high school together. We talked about you and your car. She was impressed with how fast these V6s are down there.

Anyways, just thought it was cool that our cars are well known at the track, and even at Daddy Dave's shop lol.

Stephanie is awesome, she took one of the pictures of Daddy Dave's Goliath and had him sign it for my wife's car show she hosted. She also has been helping Daddy Dave out a ton with his shop after he got injured.

Got some meth upgrades, a 3 gallon tank that looks a lot better, and the new Snow Performance VC-50 controller. It is a digital gauge that allows me to precisely tune when I start injecting and when to activate a 2nd stage. This will allow me to run a small about until 5000, then double the amount.

I also talked to Rodney @ AIS, he suggested a new nozzle configuration so I'm trying that now to see if I get any gains before I go back to the track.

Found an emblem for your car...

Nah, want one that says "V6 PURE STOCK".

The MagnumForce name is just from the movie Magnum Force, one of my favorite Clint Eastwood movies. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is too long of a username.

Last Test -n- Tune session this weekend and I don't know if I will make it. I have the new meth tank in the trunk and am starting to do the wiring for the new controller but I also want to fix my other wiring while I have everything apart. Might just have to accept that slow 11.8 run till next year.

We never got to have our V6 super race this year... That's ok though it'll be even better next year. Might have to race for two cases of beer.

I'd like to see that race. Next year should be exciting.

Going to be at a disadvantage till I get my engine reinforced. I don't even know how much longer it is going to last since I'm getting the oil too hot now.

Got everything finished but still haven't taken it for a test drive. The track is closed Sunday but open on Saturday, which is college football day so no track anymore this year.

Engine bayou looks nicer with the wiring fixed up, and the trunk tank looks better. Now I have to get a new floor and passenger side trunk trim to make it look better. Getting the snow performance tank to work took too much triming of the carpet since the pump had to be in the spare tire compartment. This new AIS tank has the pump under the tank for a clean look.

Good thing I did not go to the track at all with this new setup, the AFR is very lean. I'm getting good flow through the nozzles but for some reason the car is getting a lot more air than it used to, even my idle is having issues with oscillations now. Going to have to step up with bigger nozzles now, see if that corrects the issue. Do like the new controller though, looks nice.

How are those compression fittings holding up where you tapped you tranny cooler into your factory hard lines? Any leaks?

Still good, no leaks that I've seen. Just have to make sure you get a clean cut, I used a pipe cutter from the auto store.

Have you had a chance to dyno again since running in the elevens?

Not yet, I would like to but want to do more work on the tune first.

After seeing the Top 10 fast list staring to get crowded and people will be knocking on my time soon, decided to get some new parts. Right now I have a direct port meth injection kit coming in along with a pressure test gauge that I can hook up to the meth lines and see what the pressure is to adjust. I want to make sure I can cool the pistons down with water to let the engine survive at higher HP levels.

I'm still debating on whether to do the Si impeller upgrade or go to a 3.125" pulley on my SCi. The pulley should put me at 15 PSI of boost, probably the very limit of the LLT internals. Anyway I go though, I'm going to have to figure out how to custom fab some intake parts since I will need a very strong bypass valve, or a blow-off valve if I go with a blow-thru MAF setup again. I think the Si upgrade might be overkill, the SCi can handle 1050 CFM, which should be around 725 HP, the Si is 775 HP. After that I would have to start doing the oil-fed superchargers like the T-trim, which could do 950 HP. Don't think the engine would like 26 PSI of boost though.

Might just wait also to see how badly my wife's Procharged Mustang V6 is killing me at the track before I see about upgrading impellers.
