All I can say is wow I've never felt my car pull that hard, especially above 2k rpm. Not only that, it runs smoother.

Still not nearly as fast as the C5, but nothing to laugh at either. The only downside is now I'm hooked on getting more power. I might have to pull the 350 and find a big block to play with

Sounds like you had one good experience with the Tuning for Beer Tour. I set my distributor up by Lars paper and the car seems to have picked up quite a bit of pep. Congrats on the new found power.

I was supposed to go to the Saturday session but other obligations pulled me away

Maybe one of these days when you're around town I'll catch you at Donut Derelicts...you can give me a ride and show me what Lars did

Great to hear that you're getting some fun out of the tweaking we did! Glad you were able to make it to the session - I enjoyed working with you on the car! Hope you get a lot of years enjoyment out of it - you have a good one there!
