Hoping for a late summer 2005 resurrection at the moment.

Problem is it prefers leaded gas....meaning it needs Sunoco Ultra 94 AND a couple bottles of high Octne boost in each tank...quite a pricey beast, in my opinion
What motor is in that beast? Got any pics, sounds cool!

^^^^ah that's my point....as in ET time going down (plummiting)

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think the elevation at Raceway park is about 2300 ft above sea level.

I ran at Houston International during a Fun Ford Weekend and I was 4 tenths faster. Definitely a better track surface as I was in the low 2.0s 60ft versus high 2.1s in Edmonton. It was more or less the top end that I gained the most though. Mph went from mid 105s to 109s. (Vortech installed folks)

Now I've got a slow car....and I'm much happier with it.

Higher elevation = poorer breathing..much like humans.

Higher temperature = poorer performance

And you say you were faster in Texas, Adam? Ah-dum?

I never said anything about the temperature because they were pretty much the same.

That same summer, I got on a plane in Jackson Mississipi, and arrived in Edmonton to HIGHER ambient temperatures. (Albeit the humidity was lower in Edmonton)

Hows the wheezing fourbanger coming Chadxton?

The slower things progress, the more personal attacks I get from the old man.

Please don't ask any more, I'll let everyone know when the time comes.
