Found a problem in my ignition system.
My MSD coils that are over 12 years old, have some rotted connections. I attribute this to some water/moisture getting in there over the years.
So a new set of coils and a new set of spark plug wires later and the car seems to be running stronger.
I also installed a MSD Tach adapter to feed a clean RPM signal to my Quick 6 trans controller. So far no OSS Error codes anymore while doing a burnout.


True test will be next time I goto the track.

Had my new tuner riding shotgun watching the laptop and doing datalogs.

She had no fear. Better than some grown men that have sat in that passenger seat. LOL

Well after putting it off for way too long, I finally had a 6 point rollbar installed into the TTSaleen.
This came about while I was also performing some rearend suspension modifications and stiffening up the chassis.
I took the car to Jason Brazzel in Cove City, NC for the work.
He did a great job fabbing up the rollbar for me to still allow my leather seats front/rear to fit.
He also built new full length subframe connectors and tied the rollbar thru the floor into them.
I added an antirollbar to the car which attaches under the rearend to allow me to retain the tailpipes (street car!).

Hopefully with these changes, the car will not flex as bad, be safer, and allow me to get more of this power to the ground.

Oh man, Ryan, I'm so sorry to hear. I've been there and I honestly can say I've never been the same. It was like I lost a piece of my soul. :(
Hang in there. You'll get through it.

So very sorry to hear that your dad passed, Ryan. I lost both my dad and then my mom, so I know the pain you're experiencing. On a positive note, you have so many wonderful memories of your dad that will forever be locked in your heart and mind. And you'll cherish those forever. I hope that helps even in a small way to ease your heart-ache. May God bless you, and bless your family, going forward, my brother.
