One of the things I would like to do is retard the exhaust cam 4deg, advance the intake cam 2 deg, convert the AFM to a MAF along with a multi band controller and a wide band 02 sensor to make up for the increased fuel need it will have. Those 16 valve engines suck for low end so I would like to make this one really suck and have insane wallop above 4k.

Remove that heavy panel and all the associated hardware, and sheet metal it closed. That involves some seriously slow welding, but will save 50lbs or so. I'll email ya the link to the controller for the maf conversion I want to use.

Seriously man... Not much of a hangover...


And if you wanna specialize in OK you will have to work in OKC or Tulsa... Both aren't bad cities... But not as cool as living out in the sticks where I'm from.

Ahh.... Well the Southern part of NM is nice... Can't imagine there are many German cars there though.... Probably lots of newer stuff up around Albuquerque. Its a nice town. Or seemed like it when I was there.

Strip club was tits.
Bahzinga!

Full nude so no bar (per state laws) so I was sober until relatively early into the new year. Unfortunately the club seemed short handed tonight compared to saturday nights and it wasn't the A team playing the field.... but I did spend a lot of quality time with Lexi.

I woke up just now on my couch to myself spilling a beer on... myself. Way to start 2010.





I was conservative with my spending last night so I'm considering a second trip tomorrow night just for kicks. I didn't buy anyone christmas gifts this year considering I have no close relatives anymore and no real friends, so I'm going to burn that money getting tits & whatnot rubbed in my face.

New Years Resolution is to not continue this behaviour for too much longer....

Happy New Year Schumi.
Okay Peggy now has a functioning amp gauge.
After rebuilding the PC board several times I just re wired the IC.

Lol, making a 44S suck more for air

They are fun engines though, i loved mine , up in revs is where they are happiest...
low end torque is overrated for non daily drivers.

It's the wallop @ 4K that brings the true smile, that's what i'm aiming for with the 2.8
