When are ya'll going to Monroe again or is everyone waiting on Gilliam? I'll be terrorizing the streets of Birmingham and Talladega this weekend and watching some Nascar, but I don't think I'll have time to get any passes in my car on the way out there. How long until Red River is back in action anyway?

Its my stepdad's truck. I just told him to take it somewhere. I dont want anyone responsible for messing up the paint if something doesnt work right. Its a brand new 2009 tundra

just took the first couple miles with the 3.73s. Converter is only stalling to about 2500 instead of the previous 3000 on light accel. car seems to have more throttle response on initial accel. i guess i have in fact shortened my gear changes which will make my car faster and essentially taken some of the stall effect out of the converter which surely isn't a good thing.
kinda feels like hitting a brand new car with a waterhose.

Its good, still need to put a scanner on it and find out what codes it is showing other than the missfire. Just played with about a 01-03 vette and he couldnt pull away from me it was about a fender both ways everytime he shifted his 6 speed. Im happy with the car at the moment, this 5.3 runs alot better than i thought it would.

Shane, I see you got a Firebird now. Congrats! Is it SOM or Red? I can't tell in the picture. Maybe I might see you at Clyde Fant and we can run for fun. If you see your friend Chase, tell him I want to run him again. I want to see what type of difference my retune made. Did he get his headers yet?

Its red. I was down there for a short while and got tired of sitting around so me and a friend of mine went to do a little running on some back roads. I thought chase has had headers. When would you want to run him? Let me know and i can set up a time and place. Just make sure he is not on the spray. You got the SS tuned?
