Danny,

Sorry to hear you guys are having fuel system problems. Maybe you can get in touch with Mark Stein at Motor Sports Image in Roseville. he runs a Vette shop and could probably hook you up if you can reach him in time.
Good Luck!

Cass

Crap, Danny. Let me know if you and/or Jeremy are getting my txt msgs. Bad day for my car to outright fail to start at work. I dropped it at the dealer about two hours before you called. :-( I'm not super tied in to the local Corvette folk but I'm poking whoever I can think of. Try doje and RichieRichZ06 for better NorCal contacts.

We just spent the last 5 hours removing the two fuel tanks and completely disassembling them. We found a lot of fine material, almost like silt, plugging up the filters. They are not made to be removed or replaced but we did what we could. Will have to wait until tomorrow AM to see if we were successful. Without this problem we would probably have qualified 3rd.

Not sure if this will help but I have both the left and right fuel pump assemblies from an 04 Z06. Call me if you need them.

Thanks to everyone for your help. Including your call this morning Shirl.

Glen I did get your texts on a slight delay. Thank you for everything.

We are just about to throw the car back up on the dyno and see how well last nights work payed off.

Again, thank you to everyone. I will disagree with Glen and say without the issues I belive we would have qualified 1st. By a half second or better.

Let us know how the dyno test goes. Hopefully, it was the crud in the new fueling rig and you got the filters cleared. With the A/F at 20:1 do you think the engine was hurt running that lean? We're all pulling for you guys...

Try to update throughout the day/night if you can.

Thanks,

Steve
