    Keep your fingers crossed

    TJ is the man. They built the motor in my car and tuned it.

      And I'd give it right back. I've already turned down one gracious donation towards my car - I truly truly appreciate the generosity of everyone on here but I simply refuse to take money for my car.

      • I'm back!!
        TJ is awesome!!

        25.00 to tweak it and he also gave me some pointers on getting it to idle better

        The best part was the tour
        They had a BB w/ a blower in the dyno testing it.

        I think I should change the plugs before I start this again so I'm going to do that as well as getting the bumper and hood on tonight I hope.
        Trying to start it tonight isn't one of my big worrys.

          It's all in good fun and you will learn a tad about Kyle too. The sound of my car isn't the best. It was so loud it kinda comes across crackly. It is much better in person.
          Nice red!!! I see you're still picking on my poor defenseless ass... lol That was funny!!!

            Should have saw the 64 Corvette kit car they had there last week. All C5 chassis with an LS2. It was bad.

            • HEY PEOPLE!! We need an update here, the last three days I've been waiting to hear some more video with the cutouts installed and the tune finished. I'm getting alittle impatient!!

              • Just got off the phone with Kyle and I think he was ready to pee his pants. He went around the block with the car. Some strange minor issues like those wires he found down by the tranny when he was working on it. He wired them back together and when he was just out in the car, it wouldn't go in reverse and the speedo didn't work so he'll have to unwire them. He has to put in the rear shocks. Then Monday I'll drive the car out to Allendale for the front end alignment and have the cutouts installed. Then maybe off to Nunica for a tune. That's all the updates I have at the moment. Kyle can tell you more. He's the one that drove the car.

                    It was supposed to but things had to be put off until a few other things were finished. And then there is the weather....that is always a factor.

                    • All I can say it this thing is going to SHREAD rubber

                      Gave her a quick rap to see how the throttle responded and she lit the back tires up
                      Over all I'm very happy with the out come

                      The new clutch is very nice and smooth, not hard and stiff so that will make for a nice daily driver.
                      The tune will need some more tweaking and we are planning on going down to Baker Eng. to have that all done.
                      I'm waiting on TJ to give me a call back

                      Front end alignment will be done on Monday as well as cut-outs.

                      Since there was no plugs on the sending unit or reverse lock out I had to improvise and I don't think the plug that I used is working that well

                      Reverse is fixed and the car will shift into reverse now but the speedo isn't working yet so I'll have to see about getting the right plug for that.

                      I think I'll have my car tuned as well when we go to Baker
                      Then we will see who the real HP king is

                              Sounds cool though that it's running and lighting the tires up that easily.
