nah i think ill keep them, Ill roll around on them for a year or two and when i get tired of them ill give you a call 
yeah the 315's look pretty good on it, they were a lot wider then i thought when they were delivered to my house 
I wish i had a picture of the two together when they pulled in.
it sounds some what healthy, my roller rockers just make so much damn noise and I cant figure out why, everybodys tried adjusting them just cant get the click out of them
I think im going to call my machinist and make sure of what he did to see if i might need a different length push rod.
I was really surprised Brady didnt drive around with the cut out open lol, i know i did my share of raising a little hell around that town

So I switched the car over to race trim(switched from 18's to Bogarts w/drag radials...lol)and realize one of my new tires is still losing air so I head out to the gas station to pump it up. On the way I see this guy in a Tiburon. I drive by him at idle while he's stuck behind some cars(I didn't start anything because I felt he wasn't worth picking on)Then further down the road a car is turning in front of me so I slow down as I do Mr. Tiburon comes by and drops the hammer(actually lit them up at about 20 mph). Well, low and behold the next light turns red and we end up at the front of the line side by side
I turn and say "do you really want some of this" He says "oh no" I say "Don't rev on me cuz I'll show you whats up from a dig or roll" He says"oh no I don't want to race"
Lol...Can you tell I've been sitting around to long all winter? I'm dying to race and ready to go.

I'm going to sound like Scott and Jason, good Bon Jovi/Daughtry concert last night. My ears are still ringing. Maybe its because of all the hot chica's screaming and running around! LOL!

And for directions just follow the smoke I am sure you will be able to see it from far away. If for some reason this orange bitch doesn't want to burn we are going to sink it in the pond in the back!!!!!!

Yeah I'm not sure if I will head out to the open house or not now. It doesn't look like Jon will get a chance to do anymore tuning on my car. The wideband in his mustang wont come out and if we can't get the one in my car to work then it will be a week or so before he gets a new one. I don't want to drive it that far and not have the tune right. I will know for sure tomorrow when we get together.
Rodney that sucks you can't go man but sometimes other things take priority. Let me know if you change your mind and can go. It would be fun. I really hope I can go.

My car wouldn't start on Sunday afternoon and I have been scratching my head trying to figure out what was going on. I finally traced it down to the fuel pump not feeding it any fuel. I pulled out the fuel pump and seen that the person that installed the Walbro pump before didn't have long enough fuel hose on it and it basicaly just pulled apart at the hose clamp! It was a pretty easy fix just a lot of time tracing it down!!!
