I have several F body customers and a LOT of Corvette owners as well. Even a few Vipers and Viper powered trucks. The last V10 truck that was here made 700+ at the wheels, and over 600 ft/lb at 2800 RPM It will be a fun time to get everyone together down here, a lot of things happen north of us and for the last few years I have been here and on this board nothing much happens down here. So hopefully we can get something happening down here for a change

Stop by, don't be a stranger Cody came by the other day he is about to finish up a contract job in PDX then he is going job hunting again. So I feel pretty good for the given economy status.
Hopefully the stimulus package will create more commerce jobs, road construction etc. That should give a nice boost in the arm for the given economy and is right up the alley of Civil Engineering type work.

Ya, Cody mentioned he picked up the press while he was there. We used it last night to press in the bearings for on my new 9" center section. I'll be setting up the gears sometime this week. My tuning software should show up today, so I need to schedule at least 2 hours of dyno time with ya. I'd like to take a day off work during the week to tune it.

Count me in as well. Sounds like a good time. Keep us updated on the date/time.

I was baby sitting my little boy all weekend, I do that every other weekend now so that limits my working on weekends now. So that just means working a little later during the week to get things done. Next time your are in town just call. I can usually manage to sneak away for a couple hours.
