Yeah, he was telling me about that. Can't wait to get mine finished. My goal is to have about 150whp more than my dad's n/a...who knows with the bottle. I've got my eye on a 408 stroker at the moment...but nothings definite until the motor goes in.

I don't ever see him on the road. His colleague at work certainly got a sweet deal on his 7, so that makes for three VRs runnin' around Houma alone.

LSx-powered FD > Shelby Cobra IMO.

Mark, How you doing? Anything new on your car? Did you ever get Steve to retune it again? Mike

Better tube the back and put some wide tires, or you can just run Mickey ET forever!

Hey Mike! I'm doing OK, but not OK enough I'm afraid to attend Deal's Gap with the Gang from Alabama. Prior to the hurricanes, we were setting a date for Steve Kan session at a nice new dyno facility in New Orleans area

I got a LM-1 and I have been tuning with Barry Bordes from Slidell and Chuck Westbrook from Houston. Barry's son-in-law developed a .xls spreadsheet with Barry that transforms Datalogit WBO2 logs via calculations into to proper Base Map values needs to attain the desired AFR values you set anywhere on the 20x20 grid. Just cut and paste. I have posted that .xls file in my folder on the Datalogit Group, but I haven't disovered a way to put it on this forum. Even in zipped form the file is slightly too large that it won't post. By all means check it out and download it.

Chuck has twice come over from Houston; he, Barry, Art, and I have had enjoyable visits. Barry and Chuck have incredibly quick 7s and both spill over with tuning and fabrication knowledge. There aren't enough hours in the day when hangin' 'round with these guys.

How's your wife, children, and your new house? What's the latest with that fine 7 of your's?

Mark,

Good to hear that you are doing ok. Hope you could make it up to Deals Gap. Let me know if I could assist in anyway. I've greatly enjoyed your stay and hope you could do it again!
