[Land-speed] secret spy film . . .

...albino brain chiggers..   are these worse than the little bitsy red 
ones?  Worst itching I ever had!  I cannot imagine them making my brain 
itch, lol..


How is the truck coming along? Done anymore with it?  I am belly deep in 
sunbeam. I had that fuel tank leak at WOS and that resulted in me 
fabricating a new tank and putting it in the trunk. Of course that 
required that "stuff" be subtly moved around there. Removal of the 
offending tank from the front left room for an intercooler I had 
purchased a few years ago. It is now installed and the air ducting 
plumbed. Has a new blow through mass air flow meter.  Just finished a 
new ice water intercooler tank that goes where the  fire bottles were 
located before. Have relocated them as well.  Stuff looks different. 
Working to resolve my rpm issue as well. Back when I first ran the car, 
a dyno run had data to 6000 rpm. At that time, I had twin turbos blowing 
into a dual inlet throttle body hat.  Because of the miserable spark 
plug  access in that configuration, I relocated the turbos and made a 
new hat with one inlet with both turbos going into it.  Rpm decreased to 
around 5300  5400. ran that way for a  year then went to the big single 
turbo blowing into the same hat. Rpm was still limited. Same thing this 
past year with the same set up.  Run to 5500 RPM in August and that was 
it.  In installing the intercooler, I removed the inlet and replaced it 
with a larger tube,  so now everything from the turbo to the motor is 3 
inch diameter.  I also removed the blow off valve I had installed for 
chuckles on the TB hat. Put the water injection nozzle boss there 
instead.  I had a different BOV that I installed in the 3 inch air 
ducting.  I have two choices on the big turbo inlet: I can put a large 
air filter on the inlet or I can run some 4 inch aluminum flex ducting 
to the grill blank off and install an inlet bell there.  That is of 
course way more work... and no air filter which I kinda like because 
that salt dust gets injested and that cannot be good for the compressor 
wheel.   I should be done with the intercooler installation this week 
less mnor water plumbing to and fro.  Then the turbo inlet is the last item.

I am getting tired of working on this thing...
