Default Follow Up [DFI]

The shop owners son who tuned the car just called me to ask me how I liked it. I was of course jubilant in my response. He said there's a little more in there(It's set up SAFE now) if I liked by way of adding some more timing and dumping a few gallons of the GOOD SMELLING GAS in the tank :D. So if I feel the need to crank a few degs in there, I can. Thats the nice thing about the DFI, it's flexible :)


We can never have enough power or be satisfied eh?
:crazy:

Soon enough. The wallet is getting tired :D But I need to hit that 11. On race fuel, it should really rock. I'm definitely having that programmed in,and it'll be as easy as flicking a switch.

Rich, thanks pal! You helped get the motor to look soo good! The mechanic who did the DFI said when He first opened the hood, he needed sunglasses :cool:

Thanks again.

bogus:thanks dude :)

Jim, yes, it's nice and shiny. It got a bit dirty from the install.

Jesse...we'll definitely have to see how the two cars look lined up side by side. :D I do believe I'll be seeing your tail lights if you're building a "CORKY" motor :yesnod: That thing flies. :eek:

Thanks again.

Jay I do believe I can see the :D reflected in that intake top.
The only thing I can make out in the reflection are J's prescription bottles. I guess J's seperation issues have warranted trips to the shrink :lol:
