Thanks all...I am really just happy to have it back again!! I am also very happy with the way it runs, it idles fine, air works fine(THANK GOD), has awesome power.....now...I am sure with the 1400cc injectors gas mileage wont be that great, but I don't plan on driving everyday.

Yeah 1400cc = bad fuel economy. Probably need to gas up every 200 miles.

I just want to know what Travis's conversation was like with you to get you back on here...

"...son, these SL fools talking trash again...post up and show 'em how the big boys roll!" ...or something like that!

LOL....naw, naw, we kept it humble in nature. I pointed him to the thread, and he decided to go ahead.

As a crew, we are all happy for him. I can only imagine (until this weekend that is), on how fast his car is just with the everday ride. If we can take on 400whp cars and hang with them and in some cases beat them (with us stock motor boys), I can only imagine what Brian's car will be able to do.

Latest good race for me was with a 300zx TT pushing 385whp. We were dead even. So, when I race Brian and we see how his car pulls, keep in mind what I have raced myself.

I just hope I get my battery charger in the mail (lost the other one), before the event. We will have multiple camera angles...

i understand. that comment wasnt directed at you alone. i could just see a huge debate forming, involving everyones opinion, that had nothing to do with brians car. besides, im sure that nothing will do it as much justice as the upcoming video.
