Default Finally, ready for track on 4/1/09

i finally have the car ready for the track this wednesday, April 1st...of all days its gonna be on April fools day lol I havent ran since late January. I added my e-fan, 170 amp alt, and full rear suspension (installed and set up by me and a buddy)...after taking my time doing these mods, i ran into other problems...my t-stat housing was leaking so i fixed it...then my water pump went bad, so i replaced it....then my t-stat housing started to leak again!!! Well, i had a defective t-stat housing...got a new one again and FINALLY, no more leaks...I'll be at the track this wednesday and i HOPE that everything falls into place and i acheive my 12.9X or better!!!! Wish me luck!!! Weather is not the best and humidity is a lil high...we will see!!!

Always anxious to hear how youre doing with that car. Best of luck.

I doubt the water particulate count is all that high this time of year so I wouldnt be all that worried. Remember humidity is relitive not absolute. If the water particle count remained the same and temp drops, relitive humidity rises. Its all focused on atnospheric carrying capacity.
