Re: SAAC-29 Michigan July 2-3-4

Ron,

No we did not make it to MIS. I got married on the 10th, and had to make a judgement call. Below is a picture of me in a buddys Boss 302 at MIS a few years ago.

We did run at mid ohio on the 9th. Pictures are here Mid Ohio It was the day before our wedding. We ran for about half the day, broke the car, and then ran home for the rehersal dinner. All in all it was very productive.

It is too bad, the mid ohio event used to be really special. In the past we have had an original MKII, Daytona, 427SC, GT350R, 93 95 and 2000 Cobra R's, etc. Now we have to invite the fast and furious crowd just to pay the bills.

The car has only about 200 miles on it since a complete rebuild. It has a complete Maximum Motorsports suspension, Baer brakes, gutted interior, through the floor subframes, etc.

The engine is quite nice. We put in a forged 2.5L stroker crank, custom forged rods, forged 8.5:1 pistons, studs and straps on the main caps, stainless header, 3" downpipe, ported head with larger valves, new cam, etc. We are still only at 14 psi. We will probably replace the turbo with a T3/4 hybrid, and run a vortech aftercooler, then we will start to lean on the engine and raise the boost.
