    Starting off now... heading to norwalk for the dsm shootout weekend.

    Installed my much bigger turbo and nitrous this week. Tested it yesterday and it exceeded my expectations.... 25% more power than I ever had and 35% more than I had last year at pont nationals.

    If its the same setup as last year there will be lots of open t&t on Saturday while they run the auto cross and max effort stuff. There usually isn't much time for t&t on Sunday. Too bad you didn't make it down for buschurs sport compact event in May, there is classes you could have run the car in at that one. I won 2nd place in the Bracket 2 class, was the only 3800 running. He cancelled that for next year because of low turnout.

    The bad luck continuned to flow, and I basically just gave up and partied/hung out the rest of the weekend.

    1. Found a wasp nest in my new wastegate reference line, caused me to overboost by 15psi (140% Injector duty) 3 test and tune runs.
    2. Randomly threw oil out the rear breather in return road.
    3. Randomly threw a coolant plug on the ground when pulling into my pit spot, requiring me to go to autozone to get a new one.
    4. The second I unloaded my car off the trailer on friday, the shifter link broke, requiring me to pour JB weld all over it.
    5. EVERY DAMN TIME I tried to launch i was racing against someone that didnt know how to drag race, causing me to melt my trans... Never got a good test launch.
    6. Both rear motor mounts are shot, causing some vibrations at 140mph I didnt like and unknown other problems.

    I was more excited about trying to get the c16 setup in there for my first full run... I expect some crazy things.
