This is fucked. I don't mind working 17 hours straight, but now they are telling me after my 7-4 shift, before my 4-midnight, I also need to move an office of phones.

How the **** can I move this **** before the traders leave, before the market closes, and do hours of work within 30 minutes. What the ****, they canceled a huge move so a bunch of techs are free and my dispatcher is still asking me to do this.

The tech didn't tell the office he had a huge move coming up and couldn't do it, he just assumed I would do it. We plan **** like this weeks in advance and all this 2 days before. What a lazy *****, he's always trying to weasel his way out of something.

Yep, I didnt know if you caught the racers bug. Just go out once or twice a year, have fun and dont hit the wall. And best for you is you wont have to repaint the nose only to have it look like **** 3 months later.

Update ... Don called. He said it's tough to dyno because he is pegging the speed-o with the crappy 2.73 gears and the stock 16 inch rim/tires look like they want to come off. I just want the tune to be dead on, I'm sure it makes power.

Which brings me to the stock 2002 injectors... they are maxed so the car has to be doing something right. I need to find what injectors I need and buy them, I hate leaving something like that un-finished. I may order them today.

yea the tires arent rated for that. if don pushed the car for a dyno number and pop the tires and the car was fucked i'd be down in the dumps. by the time i get the injectors in i will try to get the rear in so we can go nuts.

he had two pair's. i didn't know who's belonged to who.

i drove the car yesterday. it's pretty darn quick, it need's gears back. with all of the WOT blasts i made i never left 2nd gear. i need the rear now more than i ever thought.

the rear and the injectors have to be done now. then the electric water pump and a 90/90 intake. we'll see what slowhawk can do with a cam only car.

oh yea, the car shakes from the size of the cam. i couldnt tell you how pleased i was to have a little rumble in the car. i felt like i was driving a smooth *** civic before. a camaro that isnt shaking just isnt cool. don picked a nice cam, he gave me the sound and rumble but held off on the raw exhaust fumes, cops and chances of being arrested because i started my car next to a cop. good job don
