Not mine....I'm going back to stock exhaust manifolds. Trust me, it's the best way to get the most power out of our cars. Highly recommended for anyone attempting 10's this year....a must do .

I don't know what to tell you Mike . I was hoping to get a better crowd especially with you celebrities coming to town . I think Rick ans Josh is on the fence and as for the others....IDK. I'll post up in a few other forums since MBW Norcal is coming up weak. I guess we're the only diehards . Come on guys lets give AZ a warm welcome .

had an injector give out on me today so i'm back to tentative instead of confirmed. it's likely my own fault as i ran the tank empty on accident and i'm sure the fuel system picked up some sediment that got past the filter and made it's way to injector #7.

chalk one up to stupidity!

Damn you Mike!!!! You guys have to stop tinkering with your cars before a track event.... Oh well, let's hope it's a easy fix. Good luck Mike and tell Chris to stop screwing around in other states and fix your ***** .

Haha...it's going to be a four man event. Go NORCAL!!!!!! OH OH, MO, are you still coming? Here's the new confirmed list.

1. Hammer (1/2 day or full?)

Update: Fire at the shop exposed hidden damage to engine. Getting brand new motor including block with bigger bore and even better, stronger pistons and even new stronger rods. Car will be done by Sept 20th with the help of best AMG engine builder in the country. Low 10s are almost a certainty now.

Wow. You have some serious patience. I would have been fed up a long time ago. Good luck with the new build, I'm skeptical about Sep. 20th date though. It takes a few weeks just to make custom pistons

Well...What can I say. **** happens . At least now the block and rods will match all the other strenghtened components. Plus it's a bigger bore like Havoc's but without sleeves. The pistons and rods are already made to match the over-bore.
