Noooooo you are not leaving our lovely Metro Area!!! Not until after Carlisle at least!

LOL! Its a long shot anyway... The company that wants me I am unsure about and being as I have always been an east-coast guy, I am not sure my stodgy self would fit in over there in CO... lol

I am excited about Carlisle, not gonna enter the SHO, but I am planning on going with my old man.
No way! you'll fit in just fine and learn to love this place man. yes your ET's will suffer but the fun part is . . . you'll be stomping all over NA V-8's like it's nothing since they're the ones who really suffer up here.
i'm rooting for you to take the job and come out here and share the crap thin air with me! lol
what part of CO?

Not sure yet which part.. probably around Denver would be my guess...

Sounds fun though!

right on you'll be in my area if you make the jump. keep me posted!

Look What Race Santa Got ME for the Upcoming Race Season
E85 Sealed in 55 GAL, 175.00 Plus 25.00 Drum Deposit,
Local 1/8 Mile track is supplying these as you need them
supposed to test out at 85 or 86, We will SEE....

Irondoor with you being in central Ohio you have speedway E-85 available and it has proven pretty consistent and potent...

14 PSI and 29 degrees

I've ran it in blends on all 3 and full E-85 on this one.

$1.50-$2.00 gallon.

Ordered these from a vendor at World of Wheels. Got an outstanding price I couldn't refuse.

The Conti DWS's served me incredibly well, but since I no longer punish my SHO by subjecting it to the elements of old man winter, It's time to ditch the all season's and rock a set of dedicated performance tires.

I will report back my experiences at some point. Install is scheduled for 03/13/18.

I would be very interested in the results... I was debating between these and the BFgoodrich Comp 2's.. I went with the BFGoodrich which has the almost the exact same tread pattern, but are SLIGHTLY harder than the Nitto's..

Hope they work out well! Keep us informed.

Is it just me or does the piston look pitted/gouged on the outer edge where it meets the cylinder wall?

Wish I had the endoscop from the start probably wouldn't have seen anything different but be nice to see.

probably short block but I was 500miles away when it got fixed didn't get a chance to talk to them.

Looks new to me like it was machined from a block of metal not forged.
Also pool of gas/oil?

Raced one of those new Durango drt with the 8 speed dual clutch transmissions. I think its 6.4 liters. From a stoplight it was dead even on the winter AJP tune non meth.
