Seems I have gotten a few trans leaks, I only got one run in. They saw the leak and didn't look that bad and let me go. Someone blow a engine and shut the track down for at least 40 minutes. I tighted down a loose line by the rad and staged...Got booted...

OK, just daydreaming... working nights for the next 4 days....
OK, stretch IC, 2800 stall 12" and 50lb injectors.
What's the max turbo (I like the 44's) but may wish to push it a tad faster.

Took it out for a maiden run in the neighorhood today and all I can say is HOLY SH!T. Left a 40ft mark at my neighors house, had to let off I scared the wife :rofl;
A BIG Thanks to Grumpy and Russ for all the parts to get me back on the road and answering all my questions
I still need to finish bleeding the brakes, put in the new plugs and tweak the exhuast.
I think I'm going to need more meat out back, 4 psi launch and about 20ft into it the rear busted loose. :supz:
T&T this friday

Last night I had one of my planes delayed going out, the ground handlers had to leave to go to another plane. They told me to call when we were ready to go, I called about 15 minutes before to give them time to get back....20 minutes and they still haven't shown up, I'm with-in minutes of losing the crew due to their duty day (FAA restricts total time from wake up to landing) So I jump in the tug and grab a Mechanic(all the others run and hide), I've watched and helped for over 20 years so how hard can it be....
Plane is 174 feet wingtip to wingtip and weights about 450,000lbs :bigeyes;
I was going so slow the Capt. called asking if there was a problem, just told him the Tug was having problems (when it was the driver scared shitless) :rofl; If any of you have watch the tugs push planes around at the airport, this is what I did...only on a very large plane.

Track down here opens on Sat at noon, paid to work/travel and go to the track...Damn things at looking up....NOT, Drive the first 50 miles of mostly back roads, hit the freeway on ramp at give it 1/4-1/2 throttle. Car starts to pull then BAM...car stop pulling, pull it down to D...nothing, 2st ...nothing. Coast to shoulder of ramp and try R ...nothing but a pump noise. Car got towed home  sad to watch. Picked up a rental and went to work..Now on a brighter side I got to go bowling with Charles Long and his Cuz, got my a$$ handed to me by Charles but had a GOOD time

It's been on the list to get, but I'm picky on fit and quality.
Well I found both with Russ Merrits custom made wires. Great quality and fit...best of all they are made idoit proof, they come zip tied and line right up with coil pack and plugs.....and I got the ones with numbers too for the total idoit proof. Took me all of 5 minutes to change out the wires in the dark.
they are MSD 8.5mm wires, $98 shipped to my door.
