That's exactly what I was going to say. Ditty - I'd suggest NOT doing ANY launches until the day before on it... try to drive her around ALOT, I'm sure you can put 500 miles on her in a week

Here is my plan:

UPS says the clutch will be here on Thursday afternoon-ish.
So...I'm going to go to the Hobby Shop on base Thursday night and start. They are open 1300-2100 on Thurs and Fri. SO...I'll work until they close and get there again first thing on Friday afternoon at 1300 and work till I finish it.

I'm planning on having it done Friday evening...so I'll drive around a little to get some miles on it.

Saturday, I'll give Marty and Matt a call (Matt I need your #) and see what's what and come up there to install the Nitrous Kit. If I can meet one or both of you at the Flying J that would make it easier. Iif the g/f comes up with me...I'll need to leave around 6-ish so she can get home. If not...I can stay as long as I need to to get it done. (I hope one of you has a 1/8 NPT tap.)

I've been researching the break-in periods and most recommend 100-500 miles, bu what is most important is the number of clutch engaugements. Somewhere in the 200-300 engaugements...taking it easy.

Hows that sound? I'll give y'all a call on Friday evening to coordinate for Saturday.

I have a few taps but they're coarse threads. I've got a fine thread 1/4"NPT Tap dave gave me that I've used on a few gauge installs - but that probably won't help.

Just a FYI, Justin is coming over to my house Saturday morning and I'm installing his gauges. IF you wanted to come over to my house to do the NOX install that's fine. I'm booked Friday night now, but saturday is alllll psd's!!!!

Here's what I can do:

Ditty, if you and Martin arrange for the Nitrous install at his house Saturday, I can meet you (Ditty) at Flying J and we can roll to Martins house, if he's cool with that.

Martin, Im pretty sure you have an 1/8NPT tap I gave you as well.. double check to make sure.

My parents rearranged the garage and most the crap is either MIA or thrown away lol.

Ya'll can probably just come over on Saturday I'll be home and I'll probably be working on Justin's truck when ya'll arrive. It'd be nice to have like 5-6 psd's lined up all along the side of the driveway
