If I have a slow day at work everyone jumps on the "OMFG YOURE ON TECH ALL DAY" then a day like this it's "Dead"

Next weekend I'm running the car with a few changes hope to speed up a bit

No dude it sucks! Gumbys closed like the end of 2009. No more pokie sticks!

I'll likely be out here until May or so

On another note, it is off season and likely a good time to buy a boat price wise. Called the salesman who sold me my jetski at the local dealer today over lunch and gave him a cash price for this... if he takes it at that price, I'll go the Regal route. If not, will try to look at a navy blue Cobalt 232. They seem to hold their values well.

I agree. I sure don't. Heck, Currently, I only get to drive this toy 2k miles a year!

I sure wouldn't. A Dewitt's would be a better cooling upgrade for sure. The EWP will be great when you're at a light, but when running, it doesn't keep up. The gain is menial for the trade offs.

Thankfully, I didn't have to find this out myself, a friend did. His car would run like 190* sitting, 230-240 when rolling. Not good.
