Yep still home (or at least at work right now). I don't think the hospital has internet access (maybe in a waiting room somewhere). I expect Robert to give a full report the evening I have the baby since he won't be staying overnight with me.

Now that Robert is back home he told the baby that he could come anytime.

Jeff, do you know if anyone was videoing the runs? I so wanted to be there, especially after hearing his runs over the phone.

I shoulda guessed that.

BTW, did Robert tell you that anytime Veronica see's videos of silver L's she first asks if its his, then she asks if its Chris's, then asks if it's Kelly's. She informed me the other day while driving around that Kelly pulls the truck in & out of the trailer.

its been a long time coming but its starting to come around.
here's an album of most of my pic's from the conversion.
http://r2rp.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=3

this project was not part of any paxton r&d just my curiousity of what if. i had Livernois motorsports do all the fabrication but we did get paxton to give us a killer deal on the head unit and blower bracket. one thing i have learned from this is it is definitely not plug and play like the kb's where the tuners have had time to tune them. i have well over 50 hours on a mustang dyne and over 40 1/4 passes so far. i had to restall the PI converter to 4000. and i am now shifting at 6000rpm's for both the 1-2 and 2-3 shift points. were seeing almost 20 psi. on the dyno and are making 508hp and 463tq on a mustang dyne. we ran a string of 11.80's this past weekend at rt.66. we are real conservative with the timing and we are seeing 11.2 a/f. i'm in the process of making a chiller box for the intercooler. once thats done we expect 3-4 tenths from that alone.
