          Is that a regular Dry Zex kit, or did you opt for the wet one?

            Its just a dry kit... I'd prefer to run wet, but I got a wicked deal on this kit and that was what I could afford at the time... When I get the cash I'll upgrade..

                It's on order... I wouldn't have to have one if I had a back seat, but since the car is gutted I do need one to run it at the track..

                Unfortunatly I have suffered some problems last night... I tryed it out for the first time.. It was going well for a little bit, till the car cut out after I stopped spraying.. I found dispite my efforts to strap the vacume line to the fpr it still came off.. The car had a bit of a miss once I got it going again driving it home.. I pulled the plugs on it today and found one wasn't in such good shape.. the porcelin had cracked and it looks like that cylinder might have leaned out.. I had a set of plugs of plugs here that I bought a while ago and tossed them in.. The car still has a miss to it but its running a little better.. I am gonna have to do a compression test on the cylinder... I am running a custom burned eprom in the car.. I think that might have to do with the problem, I can't remember for sure but I think my friend who burned it had leaned out the a/f mixture a bit.. I gotta talk to him and see what changes he made again..

                  Compression test comfirmed it... I dropped a cylinder... I don't know how bad it is till I rip the motor apart..

                              nawww.. it still was.. apone pulling apart the rear head as well I found some under lieing problems.. the motor internaly from the get go was ready to let go... There has been problems before with detonation.. I have put the motor threw living hell... from running it out of oil, to running it right out of coolent when my rad went twice and then my water pump went.. the motor should have blown up all ready a couple times... not to mention when I drive it my average shit point is 4500 - 5000rpm..
