I run the ZR1 MAP sensor. It's nice to see the boost on a pass. At least I can match it up with the rpm's and check for any slippage or decrese in boost.

Great.. Just too much stuff to watch on the gagues!

Hi gang! It's been a very busy summer. Hard to believe I've not raced since the LSX Atlanta event in June!

I have, umm, "expanded my business interests."

I bought this former Chevy Dealership:

Now I finally have a place to work on my cars!

Not for long, though. We're converting it into a church.

Really.

Actually Doc, you might appreciate it, being a Californian, but we're going to remodel it in the Spanish Mission Style. Think San Juan Capistrano, Georgia.

That'll be quite a makeover! Are you going to keep the service area as your "garage"? Are the lifts and air systems still there?

The service garage is huge, about 80' x 100'. I told the people I get the big garage and they can have the smaller receiving bay for Mass.

Alas, all the space will be used. A buddy of mine at another local Chevy place bought all the lifts and equipment.

The main garage will be great for a Spanish Mission Style altar and sanctuary.

We expect 600 people at our first Mass and to grow to a congregation of 1000+ pretty quickly. This is a mission of my parish, which has over 10,000 members.

But I am thinking "Padre's Car Show" as a fund raiser for the Mission.

We have PLENTY of parking.

Made it up to Bowling Green, Beech Bend, for some T&T as part of the Holley LS Fest. I couldn't stay for the LSX Shootout, but got in a few runs before I blew the supercharger outlet coupler again.

Obligatory video: an 11.0 @ 121.9 with a killer 1.58 sixty. DA was a hot hot 3500ft+.

No one at the Corvette Museum wanted to race me:

Great seeing you.

Looks like I need to start dieting again.

Padre · 10-12-2012, 08:11 PM

Made it to Indy. Couple of 10.8's @ 125 with 1.5x sixties.

Since Bowling Green, I have added JBA 1&7/8' Long Tube Headers and full 3" exhaust. Sounds mean now.

How much did the RWHP go up over the shorty setup?

Hope all is well!
