Looking great. Bullhorns are cool !! Great luck !! Get the sensor issues figured? Was it RF? Boost is king !
MSD8 was a little too noisy for the Holley EFI so I think we have that taken care of. Now to get this tune knocked out and we'll be good...

Going to put sidepipes on for the ride between tracks like Todd and Travis or strap Jake to the hood and have him place his hands on the bullhorns to keep it quiet on the drive?    I know you are stoked.
I still have my old stuff. One V-band and the bull horns are off.

Well folks, Luck is not on my side. After putting the bull horns on we put it on the chassis dyno to get a good tune. First pull popping and farting like it did in the beginning. I was like damn, this problem won't go away no matter how much electronics I change out. But during the run noticed my horn were shooting out water. Dammit, pulled a plug and turn the car over and there goes the water. Did a leak down test and all my cylinders are good to go. Yanked the head in hopes of this only being a head gasket problem. Well, wrong again. Everyone of my intake runners are cracked to the water jacket. I find this less than a week of being there and heading to Drag Week. So obviously, I have to bow out again... Getting with the company that did the port work in hope they will make this right or help me out. It is clear that there was too much material taken out and made this area weak. So to all the Drag Week'ers, I'll see you next year. If I can't make Monster Mopar, I'll be at Mopar @ the Park for sure... DJ

So sorry to hear of the problem. I was really, Really, REALLY looking forward to seeing this car in action.
Next year for sure!
Do you have an alternate car for a different class?

Nope,
I gave up my spot so that someone else could go.

Ahh hell slap some 915's on there and it'll be all good!  Just kidding. Sucks to hear about the head leaks though. On the flip side, DW14 is shaping up to be pretty friggin awesome!

Hay DJ ...very nice ... you going to give any of those Chebby Monkey (Street)OUTlaws any grief with your Mopar ?
I don't play on the streets anymore. But I'll race anyone at the track... She is built for battle once I get this issue fixed...

as a person that has spent days on end without any sleep in 06 and 08 drag week, this is a poor excuse for not making it.
there are guys on this site that spent 16 straight hours trying to help Eddie get his car ready the day before drag week 09
twice I worked on Eddies car for 15 straight hours after a 10 hour ride to his place and leave at the last second to drive 22 hours to get to Drag Week just in time
this is 3 years of you making claims that you are going to bring a bad ass mopar and have failed to do it. and this excuse is just the worst.
In the past three weeks, I have completely torn apart my engine, sweating my a$$ off, don't have 2 pennies to rub together, yet still dumped $1200 in my slow junk just to make the show
all hype. the car made magazines for doing nothing like most do.
Right this minute I'm waiting for my good friend and his girl and kids to show up and stay the weekend at my house and spend some time at the beach. I met this good friend at Drag Week 06 and spent many sleepless nights helping him on the side of the road.
did you read what kind of effort Leon and Billy's family put in to making the show?
DJ, I am sorry, but I just don't think you have it in you

I think that was pretty un called for. DJ's ride is a very special piece just getting the proper parts will take time let alone all the work to get it done and tuned right. He's not looking at $1200 dollar repairs here. Him giving up his spot now so someone else can get in and still have some time to get ready is good sportsmanship. I have never heard DJ say one bad thing about anybody on any of the sites out there. He's one of the good guys and he is a Mopar guy why would you try and call him out. Sounds like your situation only requires some time and effort his is a lot more complicated.
