Hi this is KC from SPI,

This was another fun and exciting dyno weekend. I'm glad I finally got to meet the rest of you AZ Mini guys. Our website is currently under reconstruction, but it should be up shortly. Thank you very much El-Diablito for spreading the word, yes our kit is $5850 and includes everything up to the last bolt. I encourage anyone who has questions to PM, e-mail or call for more details!

Did the twin charge job last thursday,friday and saturday, lots of help from Hubie, Sean from the Downtown Mini here in Orlando Fl put a lot of hours in to finish the car for a show on Sunday.

It is a blast to drive, we are still waiting on some larger injectors which Hubie indicated we will have shortly. We had 400 injectors but we need the bigger injectors.
Car also have a mininsport big valve head , schrick cam, 63mm throddle boby,port & polish intake, Quaife lsd and various other mods.
Plan on doing the dyno and 1/4 mile as soon as we get it all finish

El D you will have him back soon I was one of his projects

I delivered my MCS to Helix in Philly last week for the turbokompressor.
The wait is maddening. I miss my MINI. The hard part will be driving it home without thrashing it because they're putting a new SPEC clutch in and I feel strongly about breaking the clutch in properly.

WHERE: Firebird International Raceway, Phoenix, AZ

PRICE: nopi site (in a nutshell: 25 per day or 40 for the weekend)

Andy, I just saw a thread on the PSI running a 13.1 with 107+MPH. The SPI car will probably have to wait until tomorrow to run. The track is rained out currently. Weatherman says good weather for tomorrow. :smile:

SPI and PSI are both out of luck when the clouds decide to PIS on the track.

How did it go? It doesn't look like the results have been posted on the NOPI or NDRA sites.

Thanks for the update, but let's be honest ... Hubie's cowbell injection system wasn't working, was it?
