Engine wise.... We had to run a 350z engine harness , chassis harness , and 350ecu ( which is exactly what Am ran) Dustin from Am was very helpful in this process by the way. We ended up ditching the OEM chassis harness and making our which cut down a lot of weight.
After Barber.... We converted the car to Grand Am spec Bosch ECU...Being the first team to do so meant a lot of waiting for the harness to get built by Grand Am's supplier.
Per the series rules... If you go to the Bosch ECU ... You HAVE to purchase the engine harness through them ( Sakata)so they can spec it out... it's a pain and expensive...but rules are rules. Once we got the ecu this meant building a map from scratch but gave us very detailed control of the engine mapping.
Today... we shall see as everyone will start playing for real.
The main issue right now is the track condition... Yesterday was record heat for the area and the asphalt patches in turns 5,6,and 8 were breaking up pretty badly.
I'm pretty sure they worked on it all night and we shall see what happens today.
The car was overall solid yesterday as we were top 10 all 3 sessions.
The Camaros are sandbagging for sure...but we have yet to run on new tires as well.
First session starts at 11 am so..... Here we go.
Good Luck !

Is there any place on the internet that practices are timed live ? I don't see anything on the Grand Am site, but I could be blind.
