You are very welcome! Glad I could help out. How far did you get? Did you get around to washing anything?

Fuel economy on a race track is terrible too.





Off to dinner with the wife and hang out for the evening. Have a nice night everyone.
Yeah .. the lead in your foot will kill the mileage every time. I'm not up on track times but seems pretty good for a truck. Time for Chris to get his slip to compare.

For comparison, my 2010, 3 valve 4.6 Mustang GT rated @ 315hp went 13.86 @ 100 mph last year. I'm guessing the car weighs roughly 1/2 of my CC. And the CC is rated at 385 hp. To be less than 3 seconds behind doesn't seem too bad. I still have to dig for a website I've found in the past that uses national weather service info to calculate altitude density for each track around the country so you can input your run and it will spit our a corrected number. It was 92* when I ran that today, so a corrected number will make it look better.

And some pics of the new shop would be cool guys.

Looks like they are two/month through the end of the season. Plenty of time to get out yet.

Good morning Dennis. Don't know why I'm up, it's supposed to be my sleep in day.

Good morning Dennis, Jim, Jim and everyone else stopping by.

How is everyone doing today? Doing pretty good here. I've been up off and on since before 5. Our room has no curtains yet and the windowis paper thin. The living room window is equally thin to the point I've checked multiple times to make sure it's closed.

VERY easily. Sound wise it doesn't block much.
