3rd time in one season?

That's dedication!!

Hopefully the third time is the charm.

Cool! Mine went in 3 times also as it did not fit the first 2. Good luck and hope everything goes well for you.

I got my car almost 30 yrs ago because I got divorced but I sympathize with you.I will put the blower on after I drive it for a while but with less boost[8#]

Saving is a hard thing to do.

No track this yr.I have been down track with the Victors but I got a lot of tire spin and trans problems[slipping mostly]I went 138 but only 10.14.The reset button for the blower is the last setting I was able to get down track regularly at 10.40 but I would like 10.0 so I hope it goes well in the future.
