They don't do any dyno tunes @ the open house. They have deals on them though.

Too cold!!!! I'm sitting at home saving some cash for my Vegas trip in 2 weeks.

There is a better chance of wrecking than winning a race on these roads w/ these temps!

Yeah i was talkin about you, every time ive seen your car or truck i just cant believe how clean they are.

Just curious but why are you going with another clutch when yours has low miles on it??? Unless you have more done then you list i guess i just dont understand.

And i picked up some new goodies too this week, I got a set of Jet Hot hooker super comp ceramic headers, and the matching Y from jet hot both coated! cant wait to get them on next weekend.

Hey who here has a Red LT1 and goes to ISU? I was hanging with one of my buds at Frederikson Court last night and saw it parked around the 50s series of buildings I think?

So you mean, they don't do them but I can pick up a coupon or something for a later date?

I actually didn't see the wheels. It was night and we were driving by.

Funkster, I guess they ran sales in years past, you prepay at a reduced cost & come back later for the tune. Not sure what they planned for deals this year.

Ran to Springfield Mo today in my buddy's SRT-10, got in a few hwy races-in "Mexico". Beat the *** off of a Crown Vic of some kind..

Ran a '04 GTO from a 70 punch, we put a few lengths on him up to around 130 & then he started to come up on us. He passed us about 150... Talked to him afterwards, it was an M6 with LTs, catback, CAI & tune...he said 160 was where he let off.

andy, dont cry dude! We all work alot, its how you make money brother! I work 55-60 a week and half day saturdays, but here is the kicker, I actually love the job im at now, so it doesnt bother me at all. Regardless, I have had mine out the last few days, working on the tune, and think I about have it licked.

What do you use to tune with?

I need to try and learn but to be honest it all kind of intimidates me.
