Well that explains it, I have a 26' extra 1' tall enclosed, I'm sure things will change when you strap that 40 footer on there

Mine is all stock but is a SRW, I tried a few different EFIlive programs but I never got any better mileage. I'm sure the exhaust is helping you some as well, I paid 3.90 for diesel in Chicago, starts making you think about mileage..

Argh... don't get me even started. Guy that's updating my car from a 6 pt to a 10 pt has had it for a week and a half already.... he had to update the 6 pt to a 10 pt, add a few extra bars I wanted in to tie it up a little better, add some tie down points to the chassis, relocate the battery and take care of the cutoff switch and window net, and the car will have been there for 2 weeks this saturday already, and I guarintee if I werer to just pop in I bet the thing hasn't even really been started yet. He got the car empty, not an interior piece or anything in the way too, so it's not like there was any of that to deal with.

You'll have Mike's car updated from a 10 pt to 25.2 before this guy can do a 6pt to 10pt conversion (reusing the main hoop and back down bars too, so that's not even getting cut out, saving MORE time) and a window net and battery relocation. The time for me to drive to you and back, wouldn't even matter, I'd still have the car back sooner.

I knew I should have dealt with the distance back with I needed the rollbar last year and gone to you guys, I probably wouldn't be falling behind like I am now with this stage of the project... live and learn I guess.

If I'd have thought of that, I probably would have sent my car down there to be honest.
