The car did well. I was the only 240z. There was a z32 that showed up too. I misjudged the distance I could go on e85 and ran out at one point. But other than that the car did good. I got the car up to 9~10psi at one point. It seems to break up a little. I have the tr6 plugs gap at .025 which should be good for the boost I'm running. It may need more dwell or it might be a coil pack. No fires though knock on wood. It pulls like a freight train. Here are some photo's:

It was a race around the city. 6 stops along the way. You get a poker card at each stop and then play your hand at the end. It was fun.
It got my garage all painted now. The next project for the z is the front brakes.

The transmission was still leaking from the front seal so after some research I found a better solution to mate the powerglide/converter to the lq4.
It is a factory GM hub adapter.
Mike went threw the tranny again and put a new front seal.
Unfortunately I had to use a factory flexplate too.
We also put in a TCI flexplate sheild for some added protection.
Big thanks to Mike and Josh, you guys are awesome.
I got some new toys. I order a Simpson parachute with Competition Engineering's mounting kits. I also have a RCI window net to install.
Coil #1 had been intermitten and I have seen good results with these newer 4 gen truck coils.
I built some better straps to hold the front lip and close up the front gap a bit. I ended up taking about an inch off the front block off plates after the adjustment. I think it looks alot better now.
I need to pick up some sheet metal so I can enclose the fuel cell per nhra rules. Then I can take this thing to the track. I have a lot stuff to install now.
