He had multiple acceleration runs while sending the data logs to Shaun for fine tuning.

[Fabman]

Well Saturday we filled the Power steering system with several bottles of high buck Amsoil PS Fluid (and installed a fresh new belt) and Today I was notified that my Boss302r Electric rack has shipped and will be here Friday. Hate to waste all that fluid but I also hate blowing up hoses so...small sacrifice I guess.
Once again this car has undergone so many changes I won't know how to recognize it on track (gonna be a pig in a poke) so it will take some tweaking to get things just right again.....Stay tuned.

Updates:
Boss302r electric rack and Cortex stand alone module
Dumped approximately 60# off of the nose.
Cortex Cambered rear end
Replaced Eaton Tru Track with Torsen T2R
Gen 3 short block
Gen 2 CNC heads w/fresh stock valve springs (same as BOSS 302)
Custom cut Fender Vents
Custom cut Hood Vents
New front aero package
New front and rear spring package
Raised ride height
ABS delete
Tach delete (using 2 shift lights-one for 7850 rpm and one for 8000.)
s1sequential shifter and digital gear indicator
Install Garman Catalyst (where the tach was)
Revised tie down hooks to suit new aero package
Cortex competition rear sway bar in the wings just in case I need it, though I will try without it first.
**The Cambered rear end added so much grip I may need this to get it to turn without having to use excessively high rear springs rates or jacking up the roll center too far.

Stay tuned.

Great list! ... I get stuck in my ways, so it would take me a while to get used to that shifter. My kids passed me a playstation thingy and I could not kill a single alien. Am more of a mouse type.... (waiting for the comments...)

I doubt it will be a game changer….

 

[Fabman]

Not scheduled yet but in about 2 weeks I’d imagine.

Might just beat you to the dyno then

He might know a guy that gets parts from the space shuttle.
