It was either that or red at my parts store yesterday, it won't look bad once I route the stuff, and zip tie it all down.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

OMG...that LS7 is freakin blue... never thought I'd see the day I had to tune a ford blue LS7 in a Mustang
But then again, I never thought I'd tune an LS1 PCM in a Hemi Cuda either... Ron, I'm seeing a pattern here...
Hey, I saw two seats... do I get to ride shotgun with my laptop around a road course?

Hey Ron , I just wanted to tell you that I just joined the club you are in. My motor went out to lunch at an event too. The instructor who said he wouldn't hurt my car didn't let off the gas when the fuel pressure went low and it cracked the piston, the car still ran and the damage didn't seem too bad. He said he had driven cars home like it was several times and made it. I wasn't so lucky,I went 75 miles before I saw the little hole in the pan from the 1 or 2 piston giving it up.
Now I hope I can get it back together in time to go to the optima event.
Now I know how you felt.May The Horsepower Be With You !!!

Sorry to here that Jim, after running at Motorstate and seeing Temptress, Velocity and a couple others come unglued, you come to realize it could happen to any one. Even the high dollar well built stuff breaks, these cars are always looking for that weakest link. Good luck getting it put back together. Ron

Hey Ron, after adding up the cost of things and looking at the thread title I saw something I didn't see before. We are all spending more money than we ever thought to spend on these cars and the parts failures keep us adding more everyday. Originally Posted by Ron S

$5,000 budget for the first initial outing to get the car alive and out there to an event.
$5,000 budget for new tires and wheel upgrade.
$5,000 budget for new engine.
Are you beginning to see the title name going in the direction of using up a $5,000 budget for each progression,lol.
Just imagine a guy with a thread title ENDLESS BUDGET. Now that is more like it and we are the poster children for it and Charlie is big daddy.
Who will be the first to use that for a name for their car?
I hope to see you at the Motorstate Challenge and maybe by then we can stop the upgrades and have fun just driving the heck out of our cars.May The Horsepower Be With You !!!
