I've been to a few QSL meets and met alot of you guys. I got some pics of the car finally. Great turnouts lately. d^aNC^E I finally got the car running about 3 weeks ago. The car was built by myself and Matt up at SlickMotorsports. (all welding and custom fab done by Matt) Should be tuned by the end of the week and then it's track time!

Thanks! My camera phone sucks, I appologize for the pics.. I need to hook up with some of you Nikkon guys. :mrgreen: As far as tuning I don't have too many options. I would opt to go to Speed Industry up in Michigan. Tony Simmons is an awesome tuner. He tuned my car last year and it was damn quick. They're booked till August though. They can do Protunes as well. Im running an AEM with drive by wire and no one wants to touch it. I found a guy in the Canton area that tunes Motec and Im working out some details with him.

Kelford cams usually run somewhere between $900-$1000. You'll need a spring kit ($3-$400) and you need to clearance the heads. It took me 8 hours to carve out the castings in the heads so that I could use the high (11.3mm) lift. You'll also need new buckets to correct the valve clearance. From Subaru I think I paid like $20 a piece for them and I needed 8 to get to spec.

YES! It took a long while of research and contacting AEM, but I got it sorted out. We got a best run of 11.33 @ 130mph on straight 93 octane pump gas! We put C16 in the car, cranked up the boost and the clutch let go. :x It started slipping from that point on under boost. :roll: Still working on finding a clutch that will hold 600+. I will most likely have to go with a hydraulic throw out conversion this time and carbon disks. Any clutch like this is going for $2K+... Needless to say, it may be awhile before I get one. :lol:
