got some goodies today from DHL
Got home and got 3 goodies in the mail
First my heads got back from the porter. New titanium 2.18 intake valves with a 55* angle, he cut down the exhaust from 1.64 to 1.60 and gave it a 55* cut as well. He also opened up the intake runner so that it would match the port on the intake. port matched the intake to the ports, the heads went from flowing 386 on the int and 299 on the ex at .850 lift to flowing 438 @ .850 and 306 @ .900 and he picked up 30 cfm through .400-.800. all for the cost of 1100 bucks 800 for the new intake valves and 300 for the work, the guy is cheap but awesome, old man that worked for RCR, Penske, and Roush throughout his life in the nascar ring.
Second I got my intake back as well and you already know what was done with that. The guy cleaned up the pelum area and lightened the intake a bit.
Finally got my wilwood drag brakes in http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...nly,%205%20lug
got them for 400 from my sponsor almost 300 off retail. they drop 38lbs of rotating weight off the front end.

Unfortunately yes... Already had my back covered on the title. Its going in my brothers name here tomorrow. I am covering my back on it. I am not scared of her taking it but it is something that I need to do to get rid of some debt and to buy a different house. I trust her and we are absolute best friends, we are pretty civil with each other. It is just something that I need to do for my kids and myself so that I can move on with my life... Race cars will always be there!! I'll get another one soon... Thats why I got the wideband on it, I wanted to get it tuned because I hate selling unknown products. That car is freaking mean... I have a feeling it might go this weekend, I have three people coming out this weekend to look at it. The ads are on Detroit Craigslist and Racingjunk... Thanks for the offer of titling it bro!! My brother went through a nasty divorce and he is covering my back for me though I dont really think that it is needed!! I'll get through this, Better days are ahead... I will definately live through watching you guys finish your cars, it will give me fuel to get another one so get em done would ya??!!!!
