Got it on the scales yesterday

1890lb with me in it and everything on it.
1710lb without me
1687 without the full nitrous bottle on it.
front half of the car was 440lbs 25.7% of the weight
back half of car was 1270lbs 74.3% of the weight
front left was 224
front right was 217
left rear was 628
right rear 641

This includes everything but a few fittings for the vacuum pump. Complete NX system, air compressor, horn,12v fan, napa gel battery, all chrome, body panels, paint, everything you can think of is on the car. Fuel cell 3/4 full also.

Not to bad for everything on there I thought, @ 960hp it still should run 4.7's

I sure did, drove a friend of mines car. I did ok 1st day then had a silly light not sure where it came from. Ended up being a broken t-brake solenoid plunger but it took us 2 days and about 20 passes to figure it out. I had a good time though, car was fast 4.60@151 sure was a good ride. I should be able to get mine out this saturday down @ bunkerhill for some testing, hope to see some parts that havent showed yet.

Now onto the problems. I thought it was driving through the convertor all day and I thought the car was not making any power through the middle.
I also thought I could hear what seemed to be a header gasket leaking making what sounded to be a miss. After further inspection after I got it home the # 2 plug was not firing at all causing the miss I was hearing.. I took my convertor out and put my spare in, the sprag is likely out of the one that was in there.

I put new plugs, wires, cap, rotor and coil on along with the conv change.
New conv is a 5800 stall and the old one was 6200. Both are 9" convs.
I also have another spare to try if I feel this is no better, its a TSI super 8 9" spragless 6000 stall. I feel the power I was losing was from the spark plug bug no way to tell untill I go to the track. This weekend was a freeze out, 25 and snow here. Hopefully next weekend I can get it back out and find out if what I changed helps.

Plus side, the car drives awesome, my lights were very good and consistent. If you notice the 60ft's on the first 2 passes on brand new tires on a cold cold track were identical, these were the only 2 passes I wasnt changing anything.
