    Well, I scrapped my 351 dreams...I'm focusing on putting it back together now. I'm going to have my block rebuilt with forged pistons and then bolt everything back up. Casey has been kind enough to offer to tune my car...once I bolt everything back together I'm going to take it over to HiTech. I'll post more about it when that happens.

        I had to scale back the plans a bit, too. I was planning a MM K member and a FG hood, but I decided to work on a Master's Degree instead. Now I am wondering if I'll have time to re-assemble my car before June.

          We had fuel heating problems with a fuel cell in our 95Cobra R's. A fuel cell is deffinately not the cure for this.

            Bet that car had dumps, which I believe are the cause. I will build a side exit system for my car.

              Might running tailpipes be a simple way to fix the problem?

              edit: Yeah, we already talked about that last time I was there, forgot your PH bar or something prevents you from doing so.

              And gas gauges randomly going to the full mark in a fox is just factory settings.

                    You don't need a quick car to have fun.

                      Yeah, throw in a torque arm and call it a day.

                      Nate, when are you going to graduate?

                        I'll have my BS in Finance next year...but after that I'll be cloistered in libraries at the U of M Law school for a minimum of 2-3 years.

                          Ugh, all we need is another lawyer. Are you doing tax law? Do you plan on running for Governor? I suggest becoming employed by a company that will pay for graduate education and saving yourself $60K.

                              Yes it did, and still has dumps with no further problems, but I agree, side exit is on my agenda as well.
