Man time is flying. Just got my alky control dual nozzle meth kit installed on the turbo 4.8 and headed out to test it next Friday to get this junk dialed in. It will be my first pass down the 1/4 in this car so hope it stays together.

I've got nine straight days off of work coming up . . . If the DW plan doesn't come together in that string of 18-20 hour wrenching days . . . Well, we'll see. There's no way my car's going to be fully-sorted by 7 Sep. I just hope I'm not pushing it through tech . . . .

I think this sums up how most feel

I thought it was nearly done last September? Have you been to your shop since then?

Been busy watching TV and reading automotive blogs, apparently. And paying off those pesky credit cards, possibly.

Finished the short block tonight...practically ready to go!

Swapping back my 3.91 gears this weekend after my failed 4.56 experiment. I am also getting some new drag radials mounted up, fixing my windshield wiper linkage that came apart after it got wrapped up in a wire and stuck me on the side of the road last year, and investigating if I really want to build a hitch and use my little trailer. I will likely only get one of these done this weekend lol.

With some new sticky icky Mickey's and my newly found 615whp from Redline Motorsportsto, my CTS-V wagon is ready to rock and roll. All I need to do now is add some new "Old Guy" apparel. Now where did I put my black socks?

I bought a dozen pair of black socks yesterday....got you covered!

It was at least 50 hours and ~$4,000 from being a running, 10.80-legal car last year when I ran out of time, parts, and money.

I took it completely apart to redo and re-engineer several things that were crap. (and spent a lot more than $4K in the process).

At least the car might look a bit better than last year (it's still not going to make anyone think it's anything but a junker with a medium-sized antique mill and a lot of sketchy speed parts)

And yes, there was big debt and tax paydown from 2013 . . . funding didn't get fully "turned back on" until June. (and that new funding is rapidly being depleted . . . This is just like a freakin defense contract . . . lots of cost overruns . . . .)
