Will do. I don't want to do much today, just make a few adjustments and set up a few things so I can get familiar with logging.

That's what me and Mike were donig last night. Props goes out to Mike for the great job he did getting things setup. I just need to log and fine tune things.
Steve Kan (aka Pluto) or Brain Cain (aka BDC) will probably be your best bet for having someone to tune it. But if you have time and patience, you can read and learn to tune it yourself. BTW, if you have no additional mods or upgrades other than the ones you said, the base map should be good to use without having to have it tuned.

Anytime Don, I enjoyed helping out. What a differance from when you picked me up against those last few pulls! 8psi felt VERY strong! Gave me the bug to hurry up and get mine back on the track! I just hope Luis gets my stuff compted and balance perfect as I want to run up to 9k rpm's since power seems to be holding strong at 8k.

I am tired of looking at parts and layers of dust..... I would like to hear tha brap again. Chris I am going to call you today or tomorrow. Don if you can give me a call sometime I was wondering if I can run a laser heat gun over parts of your engine at opperating temp. Friend ordered nice powder coat setup and just want to see what the heat ranges are.

Mike,

I'll be there as an instructor for my 3rd year for this event. If I can make a few things happen, we'll also have Courtney's FD there for some break-in miles on her new engine.

BTW, I met Chris, Xtravagant today. Sweet ride he's got!

Hey Dustin, not sure how I missed this... let me know when you want to check underhood heat temps, I'm curious to know as well.
