The day has finally arrived. Turtle Battle is this coming Saturday. We still have spots open so call/email/pm us to join. Send in your registration and payments and come hang out with us for a fun filled day of at the track. REMEMBER to be at the track at 7.00am in the morning. Onsite Tech inspections will be taking place and last minute info will be given out so don't be late. There is a mandatory meeting at 8.00am.

Please remember that a Snell Approved Helmet is Required. Unfortunately Motorcycle Helmets (Dot Approved) are not allowed. The free BBQ is for drivers only but Friends and Family that accompany you to the event just need to bring $10/person for lunch. FYI, for those of you not interested in eating with us, the closest restaurant to the track is approximately 15minutes away.

JIC will be present and they are bringing 2-3 cars to run with us. Both their staff and ours will be available to answer questions you may have about products for your vehicles and provide you with whatever expertise we can offer.

Sorry for slacking on pics... want to blur out plates first. I have some good video too, but plates are showing and hard to get rid of that... if you want me to post let me know... I'll post the ones of mine first.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your supercharger?

I think its a combination of high boost (12psi @7100 rpm) and a need to relieve PVC crankcase pressure better than the stock setup...I know all the FI boys in my forum are trying different things to relieve the pressure...

I'm hoping some HFCs at my next tune will relieve some of that pressure so I don't boost so high...if not, I'm going to have to do some much more major diagnostics....

FI is fun...but not an easy or cheap road...expect roadblocks...

Ideally a Crank case breather to intake (mod), would help relieve the excessive crank case pressure from your supercharger system, that and possibly safety wire and clip the oil dip stick so its secured but removable to check levels. Very similar in motorcycles where they do a Pair valve mod. If you were to take the stock breather tube between the valve covers "T"'d into the intake pipe it should help with the problem.

Smile mods,

The mod should not take very long, idealy some supplies are needed, it should be about an hour. just give us a call and schedule so we have everything ready for you.
