With better focus, those could be some cool photos.

And heck, our 87 gas is $3.55 in MO, $3.61 in KS (where I work). I am paying $3.78 for 91 which is about the best we have and unfortunately has a 10% blend

Well I was able to get 89octane in North Alabama for $3.41 today, and after reading the comments regarding the cell phone pics I first attempted to delete all the photos from my iPhone when I got to the hotel tonight, I then realized that I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to snap the occasional shot so I punted it across the parking lot to NEVER take a cell phone pic again. LMAO. I LOVE THIS SITE!

Damn, we are so screwed in Commifornia...not only do we get to pay some of the highest prices for gas but we also get the weakest blend (91 vs 93 or 94)...this place, I tell ya...But, then I look at the weather reports and see why so many people live here LOL, but I'd take a little more weather to get outta this chithole, ha ha...They ruined the once greatest state (in natural resources, weather, etc.)...Most people probably aren't aware that at one time Southern CA was the Saudi Arabia of the world for oil production, no kidding...Don't like to think about these things, argh.

Anyway, probably being a little harsh on the OP for his pics, but I do agree that it would be better to use even a $100 chinese special (16 MP now, wowtf) than phones, unless it's an emergency. Some nerd phones have some good cameras I think, but I don't like all in one gadgets and if I were going to do a 'nice' pic, I'd use the right tool...But, not everybody is into taking pictures although it would've made a much nicer thing to look at it with even a cheapie digital , fwiw...

No doubt on the quality of cell phone pics, although I have snapped some of my daughter at indoor volleyball or bball games and if it's in a WELL LIT area my I-4 will actually take decent pics. Outside in the daylight they are "okay" but MUCH MUCH better than some of the cellphone cameras out there.....That being said I think that even the cleanest and most badass looking ride wouldn't get due justice from a cell phone pic. I too have a $110 camera that i got off display at WalMart takes MUCH higher quality images than my $500 phone.

While I love the V... there was something about 18psi at 2500ish RPM that i miss sometimes... But if i could find a way to afford some boost on the V... OMG sex!

For now its time to pay off the loan we had to take out to get the basement to stop leaking. Which has already meant the deck got removed and a bunch of other work as well.

Yeah, no boost for the V. Soon rather upgrade to a V2, but that's not on the radar.

Boost comes from the pickup. At 2500 RPM, I'm pushing about 58 psi, and right about 3,000, it's about topped at 75+ psi.

Full boost is 75+ psi.

It doesn't load hard enough on the dyno to build more than 60 psi.

Nothing like a 9,200 lb truck pushing you back into your seat on a 50-90 roll-on.....

And yes.
