That's my list.

Bruce at TTM was kind enough to give me the plumbing needed to do a simple fang intake on the car, but I've yet to fit it. I finally got it trimmed up to right length, I think, but life has gotten in the way.

It'll be fitted for MIR, but I'll stay with stock cooling. My goal was to dip her in the 10s with just the above mods. So close....



Better fly me out and let me drive her, Rama.

Hey, replacing front lips is less embarrassing than getting drug up and down the interstate in a funny car with stupid doors

Clayton,
Is there an event planned for the near future at MIR? I would like to get the CL in on this. I would like to try some of the new mods I have planned at a better DA than we had at MCIR. It was great meeting you at Timmayfest. Your car is killer sweet. I hope to break into the low 11's with my car.

Jon

I am there like a big dog!!!! I am drooling at the thought. I will have the CL ready to rock, roll and smoke down the course. Would love to sample that ridunckulously low DA. Our SC cars would just breath in that sweet nectar and belch out a MOUNTAIN of power. If we can arrange it, I'm all in. J

Jon, don't be disappointed. Low 11's isn't easy with any setup! Good luck though!

Hey speaking of lips, do you think removing your lip, more importantly your belly pans would help air cool off the turbos,manifolds and cats as well as allow for some heat to escape from air flowing under the car? You know how hot it gets under the hood with the V12TTs. Also maybe the air going through the grille can escape easier with everything off the bottom. Come on your talking 3 hundredths of a second!!!
