oh boy!! I went to the track and it was terrible. I made two runs and both of them, the motor bogged down at high RPM's. I hit the nitrous and it bogged even more ;terrible and a big puff of black smoke came out. Not good. This happened twice. I turned her off for about an hour b4 going home. On the way home I decided to get on it to see if it bogged down. IT DIDNT!!! Crazy. I got on it a couple times on the way home, no bogging at all! I decided to push my luck and hit the nitrous again, and then it bogged down again. This tells me that it must be the fuel pump. But why would it run fine after it cooled down? Is the fuel pump easy to install by myself? Its in the gas tank right?
Very pissed off for making a wasted trip to the track
