Problems with SC

[Hotsauce]

On mine the fuel rails, the fuel crossover pipe, and all the banjo bolts and fittings came pre assembled. Didn't yours?

I honestly couldn't tell you, I didn't really look I just brought the box in.

OK just took it for the first test run! I noticed it definately had some more balls off the start, but its rush hour right now so I didn't get to play too much. The banjo blot I guess was at an angle and they adjusted that. And get this, its a good thing that we had the manifold replaced! It turns out that when they took the old one off they found masking tape inside! It appears that it was put on their for the powdercoat and never removed, I guess you couldn't really see it unless you tilted it to an almost level with your eyes view. So I am almost glad that I have had the problems I had. I guess Alpine needs to work on their QC. Anyway see ya'll later I'm going back out driving!

Hitting the track this weekend?

I found some confusion on what you get when you order the injector o-rings.
Item 'Gasket; Injector', part number 8-17113-400, quantity ONE, for about $14.00, delivers a bag with 16 o-rings. Eight fat and eight skinny. All about the same diameter.
St. Charles had a note indicating the part number bot only one o-ring. I will call and give Merlin an update tomorrow.
Alpine did, just this week, send me a new and improved cable bracket. I have not done the install yet to know the difference.

Thats funny, I only got 12 O-rings in my kits for the V-6.

The fat one goes on the top of the injector and into the fuelrail, the skinny one goes on the bottom and into the manifold.
always use lube when installing O-rings.

Yes I will be hitting up the track this weekend. Man I hope I don't get any more tickets, but its sooo much fun speeding around town now! Its much quicker. One thing I noticed though, is it takes a little longer to start up. I will post times Monday, I am thinking it'll do around 14.4 but I will hope for a 13.9 I believe it was worth it and I think its just going to get faster as my computer adjusts. We'll see the times this weekend.

Hey Alaska, did you take your VX to the track? I'm interested to hear how it went.

[AlaskaVX]

I was totally planning on it, but I was out fishing and trying to meet gruven at the bar, it got late, drove home, passed out, turned the alarm clock off in my sleep. But next weekend I will be out there for sure! No more king fishing for me, I got skunked this year.
