I took the missile car out for some fun at Round 1, it is quickly becoming the UN missile car. It had no problem at all keeping up with even the fastest of our local cars. Enthalpy sent me a tune to pop the rev limiter up to 8000 rpm. Still on 100% stock block, stock head, never popped the valve cover off. Turbo is set at 18 psi on a Garrett 2860RS, and unfortunately a .86 hot side. I completely spaced when I got the turbo from a friend and didn't realize what the hot side was when I put the turbo on the car. I ordered one of the new fancy GTX 2863 .6x turbos for the car, so that should be interesting!
Tire wear has been amazing, and the car is working great. I blew up the ring gear as I forgot to check if it had fluid, and of course, it didn't so it blew up the teeth on the ring gear. Live and learn and check your fluids before you take the cars out kids!
The car has now been to 3 events and done great at pretty much all of them. Oh, and I fixed some more wiring, I will have to post that up. Turned out pretty well. Most of the car's wiring that is modified is not connected in any other way than twisting the two wires together, and possibly adding electrical tape! I don't think Tyler made those modifications though, I think the car came that way!
