The meet didn't last too long, we just looked at a few things on each others cars mostly looking at Outsider's BEAMS engine. What a nice looking engine that sounds even better! It was a good meet since we got to meet some of the local 6GC enthusiasts.

6gsillyca had to go to work so Outsider and I went on a little road trip to the mountains in search of some fun winding roads and a possible photo op.

The drive was very relaxing with gorgeous scenery on a nice hot sunny day!

It involved us going across some bridges...

...but it allowed for some rather nice pictures.

looks like fun. Outsider, your car is sooo...sleeper..i love it.
Thanks, I like to keep things "low-key".

This was the car's first highway run on the new drivetrain. I hope I don't get a ticket from the launch we did at the first lights coming back into town.(At the last second we saw phot-radar parked at the corner.... ).

As for the performance, Walker seemed to have no troubles matching me until I hit about 3500rpm. I noticed that I have to keep an eye on myself now. I ALWAYS have to slow down. The new motor wants to GO.....I am slowly pushing the top end up as I test things out. The speedo goes to 245km/hr and I have been to about 180 so far. I had the speedo pegged a few times with the old motor. It was an effort to get it there and this new motor seems to want to live in that range.

Outsider, are you on stock suspension? it seems like the front is a little lower than it should be. could the weight of the Beams engine be causing this? i didn't think it would be that much heavier, if not lighter, than the 5sfe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have Eibach Pro-Kit springs.
It's dropped about 1 inch in the front and about 1 1/2 inches in the rear.

I am usually up for a meet. We will have to set something up.

The way things are looking, I might be getting transfered to Kelowna. I won't know for sure until the end of October. If we are gonna have another meet, it will have to be before then and on a day that I am not "in" Kelowna. I am game but for me it will take some planning.

Sounds good to me. May have to plan for a weekend thing... as I'm usually pretty busy during the week. If all goes according to plan we should be in Calgary on the 1st.

The way the weather has been, we might now be able to get another meet in. That was definately snow that was falling yesturday, good thing it didn't collect on the ground.

If we do end up doing a meet, Saturdays would be best for me.
