Chad's a nice guy and a good driver to ride along with. The way he drives that Evo is pretty crazy. Anyways I'll probably see you out there again next year. I tend to go back and forth between Iowa, DMVR, and Mustang Club events.

Nothing cool here. Actually selling my car and waiting a few months to figure out what to get next. All I'm doing lately is research on different things, putting together a complete detailing kit, rebuilding my wardrobe, and getting more into strength training. That's about all from me. We'll see what happens here as far as moving goes.

I put my external waste gate on a couple weeks ago but you already knew that. I also re-did my intake and tgv's on my car, cleaned up and uncluttered the engine bay.

Working on my tune right now, put a launch control patch on my map now I'm just dialing in the boost and timing. Afr's are just about perfect! I'm thinking of having a tuner make me a race gas E-85 map for the summer, I don't know about it yet.

It's just a little stage 2 setup nothing real serious. Hopefully by the end of the week it'll be all dialed in. I'm hoping next year with a E-85 tune I'll be able to win the tdo4 class at the subie shootout.

I'm sure it's still pretty sweet. Any idea what you should be putting down for power?

Cool stuff - working on house, getting some small projects out of the way for the FB re-do.

Insulation - Good job.

Fender - I know, I need to get up there sometime real soon. I wonder if I will be near there on my way to Green Bay (picking up Z parts with Ryan H lol). That happens Saturday, so its a possibility. Short notice for sure, but I may call you. Please answer if I do lol.

Well she's all dialed in it hit 220awhp and 239tq on a mustang dyno, which if anyone knows they don't call them heart breaker dyno's for nothing. I thought I was going to have a little more than that.

Ian, haven't had a chance to send that part out maybe in a few weeks?

To everyone else I don't get on here much but I hope everyone enjoys the Holidays with their families and stays safe!

Im fine, other than the FB being an ******* again. Doesnt want to crank very fast. Probably another ground issue for another unknown reason. I was mainly seeing if you guys were paying attention or not.

I'll see what I find on your thread B.
