LOL i figured you knew better.

I figure with the air filter pulled I should be around the 430 range.
considering with bolt-ons, when I pulled the filter I gained 10more hp..

Here's a video of those guys, there was a small problem and a '96 Trans Am got air borne and went flying into a corn field. Unfortunitly I don't have any video of it happening but at the very end of the video we made you can see a quick picture of it.

edit- they are aware of the convoy recording, so if they show, they will ride behind everyone

slight issue

Larry at speed warned me that the SLP MAF i have may cause issues and I should go back to the stock MAF but during tuning the SLP maf was fine so we left it in.

Well the car was tuned on wednesday, I drove it around tonight(thursday) and it ran great until it threw 6 SES codes a couple for the O2 sensors since I am running ORY, and a couple I dont remember and two other for Multiple cylinder Misfire codes. Also my idle has gone to crap again!

with that being said, unless larry and speed can get my car in friday(4/20) and fix this I will not be able to lead the group...

I will keep you guys posted, and I'm confident it will be fixed. HOPEFULLY its just the MAF and maybe with the stock MAF re-installed I will some more HP.... HOPEFULLY

Looks like I won't be able to make it, again. I'll likely need to be available for work. Unless I get some lucky numbers on tomorrow nights lotto ticket. Then I will be suddenly unemployed.

Well if for some reason you cant make it, i can always drive up there and meet at the crystal lake hooters and go to the schaumburg hooters. I was thinking about cruising to one of the other meets as i live about 1 mile away from speed anyway. I have been to and from crystal lake about 400 times if not more. I work out there and live in schuamburg. Tim

actually everything should be ok... I just looked and the passenger side 2nd from the back, spark plug wire was loose (cant remember which cylinder number it is)

so i disconnected the battery to reset the pcm and snap the wire back on. I know this would cause a misfire which would cause my o2 codes.

so hopefully that is the problem. I will find out tomorrow when i drive to work!
