Hmm, may not be able to run Saturday, Rob. I definately want to be there to watch your car spin the drum, but it's not looking like I can have my car ready for a WOT test. I'm going to try my best, though. Tomorrow I should get my exhaust buttoned up (woo hoo get to make more ugly welds!). I would still need to install my DF fuel rail and 1.8 injectors, and try to get some tuning done on the FMU... which seems kind of pointless as I'm getting the MSPSNP very soon (whenever it's ready, I asked DIYAutotune for a few mods, it's looking like beginning of next week). Time has been very precious for me as all these choads want their parts from my parts car stripped and shipped.

yeah, I know how it goes. I've already had two bail on me at this point, but had one guy opt to bring a second car, and another from m.net sign up. There's two maybes - hrk in his turbo locost if he can get there after the scca autoX and mustang.
I think I'm ready. Still some low boost low rpm tweaks to do, but ~15psi looks fuel tuned. Might bring up the IGN advance if I get out between now and then. Wanted to run 18psi, but my bosch bov just leaks out the boost to ~14. Have a new bov coming- don't know if it'll make it.
do what you can

I jinxed myself. A few days ago I touted about how a fuel injection hose wouldn't burst with 130 psi pressure. Well one of the supply lines between the T and fuel rail bursted today on my first street tuning 3rd gear pull. I actually HEARD it burst before I smelled it and saw the fuel needle drop.
So, because the line doesn't want to come off the rail with the rail on the car, I'm taking it out and putting in my 440s and going ahead with the MS installation. No way for me to be ready. After really busting my *** to make the car ready, too.
On the positive side, I stopped in a parking lot when I suspected I had the leak. When I was under the hood and cussing under my breath, a hot little blonde MILF got out of her red NSX and came over to offer help. "Wow, those lines don't burst often," she remarked, followed by, "I race spec miata, and am an instructor at the course."
