since you are running a EMS its best to move the battery with some caution in mind. You can lose STAT/SYNC while cranking if your voltage drops while cranking making for inconsistent startups.

There has been a change of plans for the cage, it will be done this winter so I can get some racing in before the season is over. I went down to Fathouse's Saturday afternoon. He already had the collector fully welded as well as the head flange complete. Runner work started last night after dinner and I think it turned out pretty awesome! All the interior and wiring is now back in the car and the exterior minus the front bumper is all buttoned up too. Once fab work is done its ready to make boost!!

Wow, that thing looks nice man. Can I ask how many rolls of masking tape was used? lol jk. Coming together nicely man. Too bad about the cage, but at least your car will almost be done.

I was there, however the car isn't done yet. I did pick the car up Thursday morning but it wasn't ready to go down. I was there with 30 other cars. The group with the civic wagon with the ragtop and a bunch of other local guys. We were up for 48hrs getting the last 4 cars road worthy. When we left one car only had 20 mins of run time and the other had been fired and thats the extent before leaving. This year was very hectic almost to the point of it being annoying.

I picked the car up from Fathouse's last Thursday morning. Its coming along and I hope to have it ready in a week to get some miles on it before the shootout and troubleshoot any bugs that arise. Before it can fire it only needs a DP, and IC pipes.
