Poor Charlie. 
I have to say this about the guy, he probably LOVES his car the most compared to any of us here.
I spoke with Leo this morning, toggle switch is going next to the headlight switch.

You can hit it all you want driving down the road and nothing will happen if you don't have the brakes on. The switch traps pressure between the solenoid valve and the front brakes. With no pressure, there is nothing to trap.
Sometimes I will have the brakes lightly applied and slowly moving forward when I hit the switch. Then when I floor it, I'm not standing still digging a pit, but instead slowly moving forward painting two dark black lines behind me.

Many people have snapped the stock 10 spline input when switching to an aftermarket clutch...... the extra holding power puts alot of additional force on the input. People running around 450 rwhp have snapped it, no matter if they're running street tires or drag radials- the aftermarket clutch is the key contributor. On the other hand, people that have swapped to the 26 spline unit are running monster power- like 650+ rwhp- and aftermarket clutches with no problems.
If you have a stock 10 spline core, you can send it to Liberty Gears to have teh conversion to 26 done. Current price is $305. Labor to install, well I don't know yet........ I've heard $100 and I've heard $300. BUT, if you're gonna do a clutch, that is the time to do it since the trans will be down, plus you have to order a 26 spline clutch. Anyway, enough for this thread- if you need more info PM me.

Thanks for the info Tom. I do really appreciate it. With luck I'm not going to worry about a clutch until next year (I hope). I have read about the spline issues but have wondered what all was involved, if it's another 100-300 or so to insure you don't snap the thing then it's a bargin in my book. This is a great piece of info to keep tucked away until I need it. Thank You!!!!

Okay guys, here's my one and only NFL contribution... NFL Flyovers
Man I'd love to see a B-52 flyover. That would be one ominous site. A lone B-52 low over a stadium, with that long thin fuselage and that massive wing spread. Especially on of the latter ones, B-52H in the dark gray paint scheme. ****.
A-10's were OK,
F-15's would probably be fairly loud with afterburners!!!!

Hey I heard someone mention Erik Estrada. If you want to meet him come to the Downed Officers Support Ride. It's a great fundraiser I am heavily involved with. FYI it's in Santa Clarita, CA.

Quick update...
Spoke with Danny yesterday about my progress.
Apparently the build up of the motor was well under way until he realized they sent him the wrong gasket kit.
I guess it must look pretty **** similar to the 3V 4.6 kit otherwise he would've spotted it right away. Who knows.
Still no word about the flywheel, so not sure what's going on about that.
Good news is he feels confident that the car will be ready for pickup sometime next week.

Line lock install went smooth. Only thing I need to fix is that the switch is crooked as you'll see in the pic. Come to think of it I should've asked them to install the switch on the headlight switch panel. Other than that I'm happy I got them. It's a wierd feeling to be mashing the gas while not holding the brake and have the car stay in place. I did a couple of small burnouts just to test it out (Sorry no vids). The other nice feature is when sitting at a long light you can activate the line locks and you don't have to hold the brake. Just don't forget to turn off or you'll put on a nice show.
So here's the pics. Really impressed with the kit/install as it looks very professional.

On a side note my gauges are finally in at GTR, they have been for two weeks
. I just need to paint the gauge pod now. I might paint it all back or all silver then again maybe a combo? I need to do some Photoshop versions to see what I like...
