AaroNX · 05-30-2007, 09:59 PM

Thanks, I was happy with it to say the least.

nice, have you dyno'd the car?

AaroNX · 05-30-2007, 10:24 PM

Not yet. Hope to have it tuned sometime soon, but that seems to be out of my hands lol.

how much spray did it take to crack those ring lands?

AaroNX · 05-30-2007, 10:41 PM

Well it was the 100 shot, but something went wrong on that first pass that night. When I went to launch the car, it sputterd and popped, detonating, sounding like the car had a studder box. I held it like that for a second or two, let out, then tried to hit it again with the same result. Afterwards I tried spraying it in the parking lot and it did fine. I continued to run throughout the night, running 8.1's(1/8th mile) on three cylinders. Compression check had 60 on that cylinder and 170-180 on the other 3. Still not quite sure what caused the initial problems on that first attempted pass.

AaroNX · 05-31-2007, 03:53 PM

Yeah it's pearl white. Really sparkles in the sun but you can't tell in those pics.
