Nope. Amish don't build to the new hurricane code. It apparently requires Honduran or Mexican expertise. The codes here require better materials and more involved installation procedures than my place in Georgia did. I guess that's a good thing.

So I began upgrading my gauges with a beautiful custom set from Adam @ Revlimiter.net. I chose the new "Fighter" series for high visibility and quick recognition. It was custom scaled to correct for the swap from 4.10 gears to 3.63, so it is a practical upgrade. It also features a 6 o'clock zero so that the redline area and speeds above 100mph are physically higher in the panel for easier visibility. It also now features a 160mph top of scale, which is appropriate for the gearing and my opportunities to run at tracks like Daytona.
It is an extremely high quality set and I am fortunate to have it. Adam included goodies and extras as well.
I haven't had a chance to orient the fuel gauge needle yet so it hasn't been fully reassembled for this picture.

Cover is on gauges. Clear lens has indelible spots and I'd love a spare na8 replacement if anyone has a spare.

I ordered a pressure switch for the half *** Devils Own kit I picked up a few years ago and it came with a cool bumper sticker.
Definitely will get me pulled over more often in Florida.

I'm doing this, in case anybody else wants to come play. I hate going out to events alone.

Good group with lots of track time and very little hassle. Lunch is included.

Scott (Pdexta) came out to Sebring yesterday when we were running and I took him out for a couple of laps. Tire pressure was getting a little high as the day warmed up and I should have let it down some prior to going out. The fuel tank was getting low and the back end was a also bit lighter than in the morning. Running about 10psi on gtx2867r in the video. Meth injection not yet hooked up. You can tell what is happening with the throttle by watching the orange indicator on the boost gauge on the left a-pillar.

The EFR spools quicker than the GTX with the. 86 turbine, if that's something you want. Mine would spool better if I wasn't using a cast FM log mani.
