just got the thing running aninal again (After posting a disappointing
122rwhp at the VMOA Daytona Dyno shoot out) yesterday. thing was pulling like when I first got her back from John Ganey and he presented the ~190 rwhp sheet.
This morning I completely lost 5th gear...ugh
Ironic thing was i wasnt even hitting it hard at the time...It was very very windy so Im thinking there was a good amount of torque on the gears.
