Rick,
Thanks for asking about my six-year old son, Cameron. He's in remission! We are through the worst of the treatment, and his arterial port will come out in a month or so. He even has hair coming back---although, I am unlikely to let mine grow back out. (Kinda got hooked on the bald head thing...). Cameron still has another 16 months of treatment to go, but it's "lighter" chemotherapy (insofar as chemotherapy can be "light").
I tell ya, with Cameron's illness, my kidney condition (no need for a transplant, yet...) and the economy (layoffs, employment uncertainty, et cetera) I think I topped out on stress.
Thanks for remembering Cameron. My whole world revolves around him.

On the suppression system: I'm not running a fuel cell, but I'm not anticipating racing my Cobra (though I do plan on taking it to open track events). Hood scoop is standard FIA scoop, with a block off with small holes. Open area next to the headers and the sides of the engine are my chief leakage concerns for the Halon, but I'm focusing the nozzles to spray forward toward the top of the engine.

I'll have more time to work on it this weekend. That, and reinstalling my newly ceramic coated headers---which look great.

Cheers,
DD
