400 bucks is pretty pricey too
Like the pricey PCV Valve but it might help you solve a issue with the engine.

Link does not work and gives strange messages on attempts.

Moved the turbo exhaust, now exits forward of the front tires.
Chutes and launchers should be in sometime next week.

Assume you are not running E-85, E-100, or Methanol in your fuel system as Tires and Methanol (alcohol type) fumes under tires does not work well.

There is a reaso0n why the Butler/Quillen car has it's exhaust pointed up and away from the tires.

Hey Tom,

No E-85/100, only racing fuel and pump gas for now.

Tom those are called "bullhorns" the premise is that they produce some downforce on the front end eliminating the need for some of the weight up there to get the car to work right in the first few hundred feet.

I totally agree with the Down Force deal but also know that methanol fuel and tires are not happy together at times. You probably never heard of a guy named Steve Grebeck.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
