last April he had my car for the week. I think Wednesday morning he emailed me "it runs."
Be ready to be happy this Sunday
I remember him reaching in thewindow and touching the key..."rooom, blapity,blapity,blap,blap" And that was a 224/563 cam
Just break in the 12 bolt as they suggest. And I hope Don's at LVD to tune you again. He picked up several tenths/miles per hour and my car ran better after the track tune based on how the car was running on real roads vs the dyno!!!

wtf are you talking about? YA break in a new gear set in a 12 bolt with wot blasts, should be real quite after that. For your info I lost a whopping 11hp from 10 to 12 bolt.

Well she can get it dynoed AFTER the rear end is broken in. Would you like someone to dyno your car with a brand new rear end that's supposed to be broken in for 500 miles?!

Not to mention if it was about the praise why bother telling poeple it dyno'd with the 10 bolt.
