It was copied over and I have not done anything with it. Is my hoodie done yet?
AHAHHAAHHAHAHA
Come to your work dressed like the bomber. And then ask you to put BTK Victim on my shirt.

The only ET I'll claim right now is the short bus ET (9.14). I don't care about my car's until I get my new clutch in.
BTW, i went and talked to SQR about the clutch install and re-tune. He cut a good deal. It'll be a week or 2 before its in and done though.
I've talked to several shops and so far only one thinks it is my hydraulics. The others think it may be a fudged up install w/a spacer wrong. I hope thats the case and not a stock clutch instead of the LS7 clutch that was in the car before the engine swap. We'll see.

Kind of like you were supposed to keep the 408 thing under wraps for me?

I hope you're right about the clutch too. Also, I hope that it's just a few weeks and nothing like your rearend install. SQR is a badass shop, so I have no doubt it'll be better.

NEWS FLASH!
Stewie's car is rumbling on the dyno of Real Performance Motorsports in Lewisville Texas... .
Finally found out why the car was loosing signal at 5300rpm and backfiring on motor. Every single pull it would backfire... the shop replaced the oil, plugs, crank trigger after dropping the pan, replaced the wiring from the PCM, replaced the PCM, and also changed the cam (details on that in the next paragraph). I am ready to go racing. The rear bump stops have been completely removed and a poor man's minitub has been performed (thanks to all the folks for helping me swap tires at the track to only find that the calipers where not ground down) as well as the calipers are now ground (actually they just put someone else's calipers on the car
). The car has a set of Weld ProStar 15 inch wheels that are 10 inches in the back with a 325MT ET Street Drag Radial and the A/C has been removed for good.
RPM has always said that the cam in the car wasnt right. Well I trusted someone who supposedly was "the ****" with this L92 head crap and paid 550 for a custom cam. Specs on the card and a simple call to comp varified the previous cam was a 236/236.... RPM said I needed more exhaust duration and a larger split... they installed a 236/248 cam and not only does the car now sound meaner but it made more lowend torque and also picked up 23rwhp with ZERO dyno tricks.
Also.... the motor is officially broken in
.... I think they made over 20 pulls on the car and spent days working on it. Got more miles on the dyno now than I have on the street! 
NA numbers at 28degrees timing are: 475rwhp..... GET SUM! (as long as you dont have a M6 car with a 414 in it..... I will have something special for that car later {twin bottles one for the plate and one for a 100hp dry shot on the button.... that 414 will get the dry shot next time since the plate makes the car go sideways for some odd reason})
