It was a tossup on the dry ground of Sedalia or the water of Lake Murray. So my plan is to drown the Sedalia chiggers in Lake Murray on Sunday or Monday.
I'll let you know if I'll be meeting you there or not. If he and I can both get away early enough on Friday, she's going to ride to Ardmore with me on Friday and going to stay at her Mom's till I head back that way on Sunday. Might even come out to the races. All depends on schedules...

If you do it that way you can get any radio on the market you want
If you want to have controls on the radio you buy as well as better quality sound (you prolly dont care) then you need an XM ready unit

Small technicality....but just an FYI. The Mach Injectors are for 2nd gens. and the FLUX injectors are for 3rd gens. and BOTH are excellent for their respective engines!
Hoping for some Flux injectors someday for mine!

Lake Murray is awesome! Very pretty. They have a really nice off-road park there that has camping etc. right off of Highway 70. Prob not to far from Rowlands. If yall ever wanted to do a GTG up there it would make an excellent place for it.....ATV riding or not.

It's already fixed. Yesterday, a guy I had met a couple of times and has 40+ yrs rv repair came by and fixed it. Turns out, as I suspected, someone had messed with it before. The charge wire from the battery only had 4 or 5 wire strands connected at a wire nut and was hot and probably arcing. Also, they had put a 20/15A breaker and 20A 12v fuse it and it shout have been a 30/20A and 30A, 12v. Anyway, it's working now, but I'll hang on to the new one for awhile just to be sure.
If I can find one today, I will have a radio and 12v reciptical to put in the camper.

I'm open ended on staying Sunday Night. Depends on my dog sitter's schedule. Right now I have to at least head home Sunday (only an Hr away) sometime to put out food & water. Can come back if others are staying!

You may be the first to have a Jammer vs Mach comparison. (First reliable comparison report I've seen). Worth a post to let others, looking at cost vs value, know the difference. Confirms what I always suspected about Jammers. Good price but not impressive technology! Never understood cutting corners when dealing with precision parts and 17,000 psi fuel pressures.JMO. I'm also convinced towing moderate to heavy with bigger than Mach 4's is a mistake...... without twins.

I sent an email to Don M about whether these were the new design and what the new design meant
My answer was they were the new design, meaning they have a staggered hole pattern to add strength and efficiency in hopes of a real hotrod pump for our trucks.
I'll totally agree with your last statement! Don't think towing heavy would ever be possible with 6.5s and a big single!!

Two-three yrs ago the difference had to do with # of holes, spray angle and individual hole finishing....as I recall from my conversation with Don.
At that time, he was only applying this technology to 1.6's, 4's and 6's.... but I assume all that has changed, due to success of his redesign. I'm sure you have the lattest & greatest... based on your towing results. I'd also bet he doesn't talk about everything he has modified in his injectors.
Did he do anything to them to help with double clutching the SBC?
With those injectors, and a 3rd gear launch, I would expect low 14's....maybe high 13's at Ardmore... you think?
Need some high test H2O/Meth?

I'm sure his responses are limited in design for good reason...
Not having to double clutch near as much.. Sometimes 2nd to 3rd still needs some persuasion.. Its starting to loosen up a bit..
Id expect high 14s low 15s!! Still a stick and a truck trans! Not that hunk of car G56!
I do need some more water meth though...
Oh Ya and some rims!!
