This is of course just looking for small amounts of boost, not for race purposes like you. Again good luck!

Everytime I go into the place I never want to leave, there are thousands of gizmos and connectors, you name it...
Unfortunatly the website does not list the insulated O-Rings. Guess I am going to have to google the little buggers.

Re: SRT6 Engine Transplant
Unfortunately, the writers strike here in Hollywood has put myself and about 30,000 other people out of work... So, I'm forced to be very frugal with my $ because this may go-on for a few more months... The only thing I am doing now is working on the inexpensive things, such as the SC cooling system...
Trust me, I'll post the progress when it continues...

That's a shame Derek, work can be a bouble edged sword; it pays for the things we want to do, but doesn't often give you the time to do them! I've been out of the country for work too (writing this at the airport), so missed 3 weekends of Crossfire tinkering
Should be worth it when you finally get back out on the track though

Re: SRT6 Engine Transplant
Are there any specialty parts that you are still looking for? If so, there is a place in Orlando called Sky Craft industries. They have a bunch of weird, and hard to find things located on their shelves. If they have nothing you need, it's still worth the trip to browse the isles. It is located about a 1/4 mile off I-4 on Fairbanks ave, exit 87. They are the building with a rocket outside. Might give you something to do on any free time while you are in O-town.

Hey Derek
I know the Motec guys here in AU very well, actually the founders Ken Douglas and others.
Have used and helped develope their product for my RSR Porsche's and others and have just installed it on my M109 Bike . Let me know if you need to give them a little push
