Back home again from Norway. What a warm weekend! 92F :)

I can promise that my motor/intercooler was overheated in this heat :( Probably lost 100hp. Intaketemp "was not to play with" (194F) usually it´s about 110-125 F! Have a problem with the transmission, it slips between 1 and 2. Will check this today, and fix it. All in the car was warm including the fuel :( Besides this I was very pleased with the weekend. I have made the chassi work again. When we started to drive, the 60 feet was on 1.6 and after a little bit of rejusting I´m now on 1.4 :) The engine is very strong, and just keeps going! I think that I have drained this turbo out of it´s effect :( But I think that 8.8 will come this year! This was my report :)

This round on tape:
1.42 60 fot
1/8 5.8x/122.5 mph
1/4 9.07/155 mph

The MPH is for sure showing it is making more power.

I have faith you will figure out the 1-2 issue.

Very promising, congrats! Global warming is on us for sure, if you have to deal with that kind of temperatures...

I told Jeff I know how to fix 2nd. The trans basically has to be tuned to keep 2nd alive. PM me if your interested. Special clutch setup, line pressure and clearance required. You can only run so much line pressure. If you run it too high, you'll flip the sprag.

I feel your pain on the weather, it has been 90 degree's here in Minnesota for over two weeks now. Us Swede's just aren't use to this humidity either.
