I have had the fuel smell previously, it is not as bad as it used to be. I can barely smell a hint of fuel when I open the hood. I used to smell fuel when I was sitting in the cabin but I do not any more. My fuel line has been changed, not sure if that has made any difference or not.

I am currently using ghostbooster rev 1. I believe it is the first version of it with the secondary map sensor. The car is running great. Except it threw a code and now the check engine light is on. I believe it will be the 02 sensor or cat, it is at the dealer currently and hopefully it will be covered under the emissions warranty.

As far as drive train upgrades, I did the ACT pressure plate, street disk and Kaaz Diff with upgraded caps. My original clutch and diff were fine.

I don't launch but I do track it quite often.

By the way, I am over 20K miles with the SC.

 

I've got about 9K now on the SC. After the initial problems with the early check valves, I haven't had any significant issues. On occasion, during the summer, when I would redline thru the gears I would get what seemed to me like the check valve sticking. No problems whatsoever under any conditions, however, since it has started getting cooler.

I have only ever launched from high revs (5-6K) about 7 or 8 times (I think).

At one point in time this summer, I thought the stock clutch was a POS and that I would have to get replaced. After seeing how much a good replacement would be, I decided to live with the stock clutch a while longer. Like other things with this car, the clutch seems to be susceptible to heat - the times when it slipped under hard acceleration I had been driving in stop and go highway traffic on a hot summer day. I have not had any problems since the last time it slipped on me, so maybe it's the cooler weather.

 

Hey tiberius, nice picture of the Demon Deacon!! What is your connection to Wake Forest?

 

Wake Forest Class of 1990.

Used to be embarrassed to admit that during football season - but at least we've got a couple of w's already for a change.
