If anyone is interested 8th of Sept going to have a Dyno day/ cook out at Automotive Technology/HP Factory in chesapeake. PM me if you want directions and if you plan to attend. Going to be $50 for 2 pulls with a chance of some on the fly tweaking here and there on some cars. Would like to get an idea of how many cars (And people) might be attending. Can't beat free food and hot cars.
Thanks
Steve

anyone have autotap or some other scanning software that wants to come to my place and see what the hell is wrong with the car for me? if I had the money lying around, id just take it to be tuned...but whadda ya know...no $$$ 
on the way home last night, it started missing when I would take off from stop lights (let out clutch, give it gas, and the rpms drop and it doesnt want to go anywhere for a sec) Other than that, everything is fine. I figure ill pull the plugs and make sure I didnt burn any wires...
This morning I go to drive it to work, and I start it and let it warm up....everything seems fine, but then the check engine light comes on so I turn it off and pop the hood..I can smell coolant, but thats nothing new since it was leaking before (and we smelled it last night, but nothing was leaking). Well I look under the car, and there is a small puddle about 5'' wide...So I got under it and touched it and its coolant. I can see it on the front of the oil pan and on the Kmember....so either the block is cracked and the car drives but coolant is leaking from it (sarcasm)...or the water pump is going bad, or didnt seal when we put it on. All the hoses seemed fine, and I couldn't see any coolant leaking from the top of the motor...So, since I see it on the oil pan, and not on top of the wp, I think it's coming from under the wp...
but why is the CEL on? Will it come on if the wp is leaking?
I should've just sold this thing when I had the chance
