What did you paint the shroud with? Rattle Can hi-temp or PC?

I sanded and crack filled fan shroud, I applied adhesion promoter and used PPG India Red basecoat. the match is incredable!

Thanks Glenn. Very interesting pics. Never saw that kind of adapter before.

The race yesterday did not turn out well, I had the rev limiter set too low in practice and then the exhaust bracket came loose so i didn't get that many laps in.
I fixed the bracket and went out for qualifying then a header pipe cracked wide open before I finished the first lap. I did not get a whole lot of laps in but the engine feels strong but I still need to tweak the ignition advance and carburetors.

I was already going to ask earlier, but may I ask what kind of ignition you are using ? Is it programable and can you chance the advance curve ? According the venturis, are the carbs 46s ?

Sorry to hear you had setback yesterday. Better luck next time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Sorry, I mean the "secundary venturis". I don´t know the right term, but I mean the "pipe" above the venturi. Number 68 in Weber Parts List How they are so tall ?? I thought only 46s have tall "secundary venturis". Or does they only look tall.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

The last race of the year was last weekend and I had a great practice and qualifying
I had a nice start in the race and then the oil leak hit the headers only 1.5 laps than out. I did not have the GoPro running but a fellow racer posted a video, I am to the left.
That is my friend in the white mustang, his control arm broke...too scary
