Ding, Ding, Ding, That was fast.

Right now its a 10psi spring, This one is a 5.6 psi spring. Little safer for the street.

Ryan

Sweet, do I win a ride in your car? :)

Ryan K.


Tighten it back up then.

LOL,Thanks! That damn loose nut behind the wheel again...

Uh, the pic was a dead give-away, the pics name is WG-spring002. :jest:

Then I guess one could ask, why pay 600 bucks for GM tools when you could buy some 110 unleaded and turn up the boost? There's always reasons to go slower or blow money on un-needed shit. Hell I just bought my wife a new shirt the other day...and to think she could just go topless...Im a fucking idiot.

If it makes you feel any better, the purchase of the tools didn't effect my ability to pick up a drum of 114 octane fuel. Maybe you need to find a better job?

But running around day to day on 580 hp at the wheels minimum (10 psi) is just plain stupid. Good tires only get you so far. I have a manual boost controller, I can still raise the boost up to stupid levels.

I agree on the mazxed out daily driver tune.... No way in hell I'll be daily driving a max boost/max timing/ maxed out on octane H2. Strret tune AND strip tune is the way to go :)

Actually I do need to find a better job, I just don't know of one that pays well and gives half months pay for life after 20 years with full medical, dental and a bunch of other little things. It does suck not getting paid a lot for the work I do (90 hours a week when deployed which I do for 6 months straight) but I do enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that I contribute to my country.

Maybe I'll hit the lottery one day. Til then I'll keep working for uncle sam. Hell I know a lot of guys my age still working at fucking dairy queen.

Nate

Hey, I respect that, I did my time in the Navy. I still work for Uncle Sam...

Nate

GS-12/4 Nuclear Test Eingineer at PSNS.

You work at a nuke plant or in a facility? (Are there even any plants up this way?) I worked at Diablo Canyon for a while back in the 80's........of course I wasn't an engineer......but still. ;)

So few people know this, but right now Bremerton is home to 6 nuclear power plants.

Yeah, hell your tires barely held you to the track. I can't imagine cruzing ole' kitsap county with that kind of power.
