thats next as a temp fix. lol... im poor till payday.
Oh and just cuz im finishing school on may 6th, doesnt mean im gunna have much more car time.. this summer im focusing on getting back into real shape. and probably picking up a 2nd job to help pay for some big toys. Other then MMP on May 22nd. i dont have any other real events i want to go to for racing.. not even friday night stuff... I dont have a trailer yet, so anywhere i go to tow the car is a big expense. once i get that, ill start going to the track every other weekend, cuz then its just gas money.
Coilovers r next on my buying list.. Then a water to air intercooler and icebox setup so i can do away with the big front mount intercooler.

ah. havent been home in about 12 days. when i was home for about 6 hrs on friday. i put on my intake manifold again. re hooked everything up.. fixxed 3 different fuel leaks, and got the car idling. and the car is pulling vac for the first time ever. lol.. resurfaced intake manifold and rewelded cracks. big props to the big guy who fixxed it for me. will defiantelly keep going to him for work.
ended up not taking the car to IA even though the main issue was fixxed. my buddy wanted to go to IA on saturday at noon(even though it wasnt till sunday at noon), so he came and picked me up instead of me trailering the car there in my truck. Still some things need to be addressed. ill be working on them tomorrow evening. car feels 1000x stronger now without all the leaks in the system. crappy welds giving out and warped flanges from a crappy fabricator still causing me issues. car is much healthier now.

woot woot..
Well my graduation is in 2 weeks.. May 6th.. not a big deal or car related.. but my dad will be flying intown for the weekend or whatever..
He will be installing my big 272/300 cam and cam gear for me. I got the 'im a master mechanic, i can do anything' 'i work on 600MPH aircrafts, i can do it son' responce when i asked him if he could possibly do it without any issues... he was a mastor mechanic for cars, but has been an aircraft mastor mechanic for the past 35 years, he knows to much about everything. so ill be spending some 1 on 1 time with me dad in 2 weeks getting schooled on timing and stuff like that when my car, to help me in the long run.. Timing is the one MAIN area i stay away from cuz it actaully requires u to know what your doing.
Anyways. only update i really have....
Im pulling 13-15 lbs per Hg of vac at idle.. I will be doing some leak tests asap to where the rest of my vac leaks are (i was not pulling any vac at all about a week ago)..
Im planning on being at and raceing at the IFO event in montgomery on May 22nd for the spec sponsored fwd class.. i put the dash back in with the intensions of racing in that one specific class.. hopefully ill be running 20-22psi for this event, just want this big came in and for touringbubble to retune me

Ya man i was...
If yall had heard.. Concord/Pleasant grove/& Pratt City all were wiped off the map..
Im 3 miles south of pratt city. (pratt city is about 1/2 mile north of Downtown Birmingham, and im about 1 mile south of birmingham. no real issues in my section of town, we got very lucky on all 3 tornados that day,they all passed by missing us by a few miles each time. all of the 11 or 13 torndaos all hit some major city.. Really sad.

today was graduation.. went to dinner then came home and worked on the car with my dad and buddy... my dad leaves tomorrow and he promised to install my cam for me.. so we got it done actually really quick, actually learned a few things while we put it in.
We installed the big stage 4 custom turbo rpw cam 272/300 spec cam. and cam gear also and got it running. has a little more lope to the sound. but its trying to idle at 1100, think we can dial that back now that my intake leaks are fixxed...
didnt take any pictures, but can make a how-to easilly if anyone needs information.. i was worried about timing stuff, and my dad made it seem very easy.. also showed me a few tricks to make it easy.
Umm i am pulling -20 vac at like.. 2k rpm.. but only -10 at 1100.. think its cam related, i was pulling -12 to -14 with the stage 2 turbo cam. not sure.. need to leak test the car, asap. but i might not find anything..
time for a quick street tune then some dyno time to dial it in..

sweet man, yes please type up a how to that would be awesome. Im going to try to buy your cam but I was over 400 in my budget so buying the cam might take a little longer, I just paid for my bumper today, and all i have to pay is the shop 300 and pay for my hood and I am all set to go

If you want to know why I'll bother explaining it but for now bigger cam durations means less idle vacuum.

Here's a bunch of different cams and idle rpm's which are in the near -10 range.
