95K Miles and 70+ 1/4 mile passes the trans started slipping. A-1 Performance Trans in GA rebuilt it. They inspected the PI 3,500 T/C and it's in good shape.

Windshield cracked from a rock impact. Safelite replaced it including the dot matrix pattern and an additional tint along the top.

The battery was not holding a charge. Replaced with a Red Top Optima

The air suspension would not hold air. Replaced the system with Suncore.

Injected Engineering Dyno Check - same as 5 years ago.

So far so good. Will know for sure when I take it to the drag strip in a few weeks.

Didn't know where you were. Thought you were closer, dynoing at injected engineering.
