careful what you wish for.LOL
Arent you getting tired of wrenching on that thing.
I am so damn sick of it.
I need to just get the thing set up and stop F ing with it.
Maybe run some brackets for a while.
This constant tuning for power is a PITA

i have not touched my car all season. the spring time i put about 50-60 passes on it, all i did was change the oil, after the first hot day, i said screw this, im going boating, ended up buying my checkmate and havent even seen the car since. lol its been in the trailer all summer. i did take it to a car show about a month ago, but thats it.
so im good with it now. im swapping my gears tonight, then friday i will load up the car and trailer for racing this weekend. im pretty exicted to get back out.
i love racing, i just had enouph killing myself all summer and running slower times etc. good race weather is here and makes for half ****ty boating weather, so im ready

Yeah so your on the same page as me just my car is broken.LOL
If mine was running I would be looking forward to fast times in cool weather too.
I have 4 seasons on my engine but I am constantly tweaking it.
One change in a turbo engine throiws everything out of whack especially carberated.
It just got old for me.
I had more fun when I had a 11 second braket car.
but even then driving 3 hrs to spend 40 seconds of the day on the track sucked.
I can be in the boat doing what ever the hell I want all day.LOL

Last month, I went from newport ri to block island in 4 to 5's at 65.......it was the first time w/ the boat with some soup...and I gotta tell you I was looking around and i could not believe the stability...I was saying to myself "this whole thing should be so violent"...but it wasn't....it was like the boat was saying "this is where I am happy".....I now want more!......truly remarkable!

funny you post that there was a guy ripping on sutphens on scream and fly.
I had to try and set the record straight because I know how killer sutphens are in there element.

a friend of mine test-drove a 39 (the blue and yellow lightning bolt boat) from OS to greenport through the gut in 5 footers...with the hydraulic steering and mid set-up, said he could have spent time below mixing drinks...ride was almost too smooth...
