Thanks David. Can't wait to hit the dyno and track again myself. I need to stop making changes and get the car together

leecavturbo- Yes I have the manifold and there are pics of it on the nasty habanero thread. The mani and downpipe looks amazing, but I am waiting to install that with the RED. If you cant find the pics I'll post some up.

Im not gonna lie, I took the mani and held it up in place and it looks crazy I am dropping the car back off on Monday so we can resume normal operation. Mike has been slammed and has no space available

Blazing VIII- we encountered an unfortunate problem that needed to be addressed. I then decided to pull the ACD out and sway bar at the same time. Also needed to check the clutch specs. Days turned into weeks with the Holidays It was a good time for me to finish up the small things also. It should be back in action shortly.... The sponsors have been 100% supportive and understanding. It's racing and you have to expect some set backs at times. Its how it is dealt with that keeps the team strong Everyone has gone above and beyond. We are all getting excited to see it alive again

Thanks, everything has been handled in the utmost of priority. I've got the best people working on it. It's just the time thing that is killing me. I feel as if my hands are tied. It kills me to see a beautiful RED sitting on the floor in my office, a custom intake mani, Hypertune TB, NASTY HABANERO/DOWNPIPE Just sitting calling my name But, in the end, the car will be near perfect. It has been a huge project. Everything has been touched, moved, painted, moved again, repainted again, broke, reinstalled, checked, stamped, ok'd... you get the point. Overwhelming at times... No way I could've done this without all the great people involved. No way... There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes I am I will definitely post up when the car will be heading to the track. It will definitely be Moroso/Palm Beach International Speedway for the first few nights back out. They will be test runs, etc and if something goes wrong I dont want all the drive time. Orlando is just too far.
