I leave Springville all the time, But like you said good luck getting them to meet up. Maybe we should start arranging a meet. I have a cam on the way, should be here early next week. Then Im suppose to be trading my a4 setup for a M6 setup so it will be sitting for awhile again. Where do you work at?

We definitely need to set something up for like a once a week meet at hooters or something. I know wayne will drive anywhere there's a gathering of nice cars. Shawn, Eric, and Jonathon want to do something as well. It would be a great chance for AUGTO to meet all of us. Well just have to hide Tim somewhere so he wont embarass us. BTW, AUGTO go to bhamfbody.com/forum/ and introduce yourself .

On another note, which cam did you go with? And its about time you switched to a M6. Maybe after my cam ill be able to run with ya , assuming you dont spray .

Oh, i work at Axcan Pharma. It's a pharmaceutical company. I have to cold call doctors all day about sampling. I want to claw my ears off every day after work.

I went with the F13. I wanted something a little smaller, & these seem to be throwing down some pretty nice #'s on the dyno & track. Ive got a 9in at my house & i figured it would be cool to do a couple of 5000rpm launches.

Im not spraying right now, trying to get the car in 11's NA. Then im putting the TNT F1 kit on.

Yeah we definitely need to get something setup. Id be game. Well im going to work now, Ill be back in bit.

Later,
Vann

BTW- sorry for highjacking your thread.
