I think it will come out OK, it's just the ***** that I don't have it done in time for Seven Stock. (I hope it's done by October 9th - my family reunion is that weekend).

I thought CAIs were no good with the SC?

Phil has the Cobb setup and can retune as needed for the cai.

Do I really own an RX8 with a Pettit supercharger? I'm not sure anymore - I haven't seen it in so long the I forgot if I really own it or it's only a dream. The last message I got was that all the parts were not in yet and should be shortly (I think). I know that a second engine is a must now. I got the impression that it would not see the light of day until near the end of the month.

Well I understand that the parts are slowly coming in and should be in Phoenix by the end of the week. If all goes well I should see my car by the 24th.

I just look forward to seeing Phil driving around town MASHING the pedal at every opportunity, and grinning from ear to ear as he does it.

Yeah, I had almost forgot that I did own one until I went in the garage and saw all the spare parts and empty floor space .

I think, if it were me, I'd leave the Cobb red line and rev limiter at 10,000 RPM You would loose the war that would insue Quit trying to be your brothers keeper (that's my job) and just make my car run and run faster than before.

It's Friday the 17th

I reserve the right to change the timeline of expectations because dealing with **** beyond my control and unforseen circumstances is how I spend 90% of my time for BHR these days.
Will my 8 finally be done?

Low blow But deserved if true

Suffice it to say that the delay in his rebuild involves a LOT of poor timing and management on my part and I shall confess all my sins, like I always do, when the time is right for it. I just hope Phil can report that the wait was worth it when he drives his 8 again.
Waiting has not been easy, but I have confidence in Ray and his business approach.
Ray, I would hope that you post a little of what is going on so that the forum and I will be informed of the progress. Get Erick to take some pics for posterity and my garage wall NOW GET STARTED
