Gettin her ready...
Brett:
I noticed you have a hose coming off the valve cover up front. Where do you have that going to?
Alos, you have you mounted the IC yet? those charge pipse hang LOW! we had to remove the lowe plastic splash gaurd, and it's a bit lower then it. I've already scratched both pipes twice, and I'm dropped on Hotchkis.
But I think you got a different IC then me, so maybe your mounting points and pipes are different?

^ We'll be at the track tonight if you guys want to come out. One of our boys just got a header and spipe and wants to check it out. I thinks it's his first time.
let me start by saying i am a very impatient person. if you dont belive me ask todd.
i tried to ghetto rig the short peice of ic piping so i could drive my car. drove it up and down the street a few times, never really getting the car into boost. so then i say what the hell, lets give it some gas. bad idea. the hot side ic pipng comes loose, smacks my radiator (cracking it open), and drags on the street until it rips out, and i run it over.
so now i have to buy a new radiator. shouldnt take too much longer before i get to the track though. the ic piping, and intake pipe are ariving tomorow. patientce is a virtue that i really need to learn. morale of the story. dont ghetto rig anything on your car.

OH DAMN! that's what we did on my car, but I only have the .3bar spring in. when I had my "what the hell" moment, I heard a pop, and a drowning growl, and I limped my way home to find out the COLD side of the IC pipeing popped off. I clamped it back on and I've been riding around like that since Saturday, just keeping in the low RPMs. My pipes should be here Friday, I think, and I'm still waiting on my injectors as well. I got the 440s sitting here, but I want to tune with the 650s.
Sorry to hear about your radiator. My wife would have been ____ED!

Did you new pipes come in yet? I told Todd not to bother putting a rush on my delivery as I was unalbe to get into the shop Saturday anyway, but I haven't been able to get ahold of him. I'm assuming his wife went into labor. Did you hear anything?
Oh, and I was wondering why you added 561 to your SL name? Is that what whp your shooting for!!!

With no radiator? Man, there is no way I could get anywhere in Vegas without a radiator!
I just got my pipes in today, so I'll be at the tune shop Thursday. Keep us posted! Looking for big numbers from you!
