MJockey, we're cheating and using the LS gauge pod. Incidentally, the OEM gauges in the LS pod are made by Auto Meter so when you pull out the goofy g-meter one, and replace it with a readily available 2 1/16" Auto Meter, the fitment is perfect. As for the sensor end, I will try to get some pics of what Ryan did when we're in there again. The jist of it is T-ing the 1/8" NPT tapped hole for the OEM pressure sensor so that you can have (2) 1/8" NPT's - one for the pressure sensor and one for the temp sensor.

Correct, Wednesday and Thursday are the days the track is rented. The date for loading on to the transport pushed back to Sunday morning.

Kendal,
A no brainer ! I’d be glad to! I need to take a passenger so we can call it a thrill ride!

Definitely following this, as today I discovered any more than 15-18 minutes of continuous track time would result in a P1229 on a GT and limp mode until cooled.

rocketman, let's get one thing straight. There will be NO discussion of my driving skills (or lack thereof) on the Forum following the event next week. NO comparisons to little old ladies. NO comparisons to neanderthals or lesser developed life forms, etc! NO comments like why I could of saved money buying a Prius, etc. OK? None of that talk. AND, if I should happen to scream like a teenage girl when I am a passenger with you - that's just an odd noise from the oil cooler. FINALLY, if there's any moisture on the front of my pants - thats from where I previously spilled a soft drink. Are we in agreement?

Oh, by the way, I HOPE you are bringing some kind of exotic munchies. You can't be a featured culinary guest on TV and not bring some kind of samples.

I hope we're seeing eye to eye.
