Default Going to INTENSE RACING for install....

Well time for me to start getting serious so on my little family trip through Ohio, I'm stopping at intense for their 2nd gen LSD to be installed Friday March 26th. While I'm there going to bring home some gen 3 1.9 rockers and Oil restricted pushrods and new springs. Probably come home with few other things too.

Going to have Steve Hale from ILGCP install my rockers and some ceramic Togs for me when I get back along with a Hiflow cat. Also going to throw some MSD wires and probably 3 range colder plugs in. Considering getting a Stage 2 HVTB while I'm there too.

That should hold me over for a while. Now if Rouge can just figure out the hump on the 3.2 pulley problem, damn aggressive PCM. I've been talking with Charles Breyer from DHP and close to my house about getting a custom burn after everything is on. Than that 3.2 is going on. Planning on Dyno tunning the chip too.

Than Great Lakes Dragway here I come!

That should be a pretty quick SSEi after you get that stuff done. I am thinking 14 flat or high 13'* easy.

Have you considered getting ZZP'* new "low cost" intercooler? They just released one for $499, and it is supposed to allow you to drop .2-.3 pulley size.

I just hope you have better luck with the Intense LSD than we have. We're on the 3rd one now.

They were/are all 1st gen. However, if this one does go (which I hope it doesn't), we will probably put in a Gen 2 or a C-ya. I know that this one works, because when we tested it earlier today it left two nice 3ft. long blackmarks. (3 feet is all it took to get smoke to roll off the tires, and the car to shift into 2nd gear from reving too high, it only took about a half of a second also)

The helmet is defiately a good idea. It would suck to hit 13'* and have to quit racing because you don't have a helmet. I can definately see you hitting 13'* in that beast. I want to see some videos of your runs too!

BTW...Happy Birthday.

Shawn
