I am hoping to purchase something new to install into a bay of my garage by spring.

Me: *looking through ads on Autotrader*

Wife: Another car?.... five cars? Seriously, you want us to have five cars? FIVE CARS?!

Me: No, actually I want six. I'm willing to compromise and settle for five, since marrige is about compromise.

Wife: Wait, how the hell is getting another car a "compromise"??

Me: I want six. You want us to stick with four. So, some basic math tells us that five would be the fair and just compromise. Win/win!

Wife:

Me:

Wife-----> <-----Me

The end.

I'm just waiting on the snow and salt to go away so I can drive the car to the shop and throw it on the dyno again. I want to see what it puts down and get it dialed in on a small dry shot.

Hey Jonas, if you are installing the cobra **** and still have the Hurst H Logo ****, let me know how much you want for it.

Also, Harris Speed has the best prices for 42 lbs injectors I've seen so far.

What do you need 42lb injectors for? I know you said you were spraying dry, but how much? A 300 shot?
