Default Hi Guys,

I did run fairly well at last years R & G but the engine was only in the car 2 days when we left for St Louis. We were only running 11.4 for a best time if I remember right. But it wasn't the motor it was a brand new Tremec that wouldn't shift because it was so new. Its since broken in so I can power shift it and that is what made it drop to 10.8's. Plus we jetted it a little fatter.

Regarding the PCV valve that is a good idea but since I've got a dry sump pump that scavenges the oil pan it will pull a strong vacuum simply if I seal the vents in the valve covers. However, its not as easy as it sounds (is it ever?) as I have to make a new top for my dry sump tank that contains a vent in it as running a puke tank is not possible because I can't find any place higher than the tank to mount it. I guess I could wear one of those twin beer baseball hats and put it up there<G>

Anyway it will help. My big problem is that I WANT to go to Run and Gun this year and I'm going to be in training from August through most of Sept on the 747 so I may not be able to but I'm going to try like hell to figure something out.

For those of you who haven't gone it is, IMO, terrific with great people and really nice cars. I learned a LOT from going last year.

Thanks again for the advice, this is a really nice forum even though we have had tremendous "Thread drift"
