I'm leaving today to Nashville and the weather isn't so nice.. So, I'll be in my daily.

I'll see you David @ your house.

DJ, I've talked to my engine builder and he's supposed to pick up the T2. He didn't have the hood with him. Also, next time I'll be in Nashville after today would be in thanksgiving.

Well the only place I would trust would be David Garfinkle's or Charles Gilbert.
What is left and what swap are you doing?

I am in Spring Hill and doing a S4 TII swap into a S4 GXL as we speak.

DJ, if your not going to the Oct. 30th get together, maybe I can grab the hood and bring it to you.

That'll work. ^ I am 200% positive that I have to work that Sunday so I know I can't go. If you're goin down to B'ham that would be perfect! Although I think it would be cooler if Phil bungie corded it to the roof of his FD and drove up with it

Hey girl, sorry no one replied. The show was canceled but there were a few of us over at garfinkle's house.


Hey Gar,
Do you think they will extend it one week since this one was rained out?

Hey dork, I can read what your writing to Chad and respond on my own. I've been busy with work and college. That and I've had some stuff going on that involves my new truck making me tight on cash (long story) and I had no transportation last night anyway. I'll tell my mom and dad you said hi. I hope that they will have a rain date, I want to come out and see everybody again. Oh well, this winter we are going to work on my 7 so next summer I'll join you guys in the cruises.

The man you need to talk to is David Garfinkle. Call him and see if you can figure it out over the phone. If not he might need the car to figure it out.

what would cause the engine to stumble when shut off? This is with a turbo timer. here is the catch, it was perfect before I put the new engine in and I didnt touch the turbo timer. I think it has something to do with that. the wiring or something. its fine once its warmed up. it also smokes, but only in the middle of warm up. its weird. I will start it and no smoke for a couple minutes...then once I get out and get on it a little bit, it will stop smoking. if I let it idle for a little while it will start to smoke a little and my wideband reads about a point richer than normal. example: park car after a run and idle A/F is 12.0 - 12.3 then after a couple minutes it still holds its idle fine but the wideband shows 11 or so when it starts to smoke a little. the smoke is NOT sweet smelling and I never have to add coolant. I run B9EGV plugs in all 4. I really need to take a video and post it.

I run the B10EGV, but you're not boosting too much are you? I'd check the plugs and try going back to the BUR9's and see if that helps. What else has been changed resently? Sounds like it might be just in the map.

Im running 14-15 psi. I recently made a visit to Garfinkles house for some map adjustments. but it started doing this a little before I went up there so I dont think that is the cause of it. it may have compounded the problem, but it didnt start it. Im thinking that maybe one of my coils is on its way out and isnt doing a very good job burning all the fuel...but Im just speculating. we need a help Sean with his POS 7 meet.
