Hey Rick
Are you busy sometime next weekend? Maybe we can meet up and do some street tuning on my car. You offered to help me on my last post and I am going to take you up for it. Since you are only less than 1/2 hrs away from me. Will you help out your neighbor? Lunch on me and some $. WHat do you say eh? Email me Bruce383@Rochester.rr.com to talk more detail.

I have 12 hour days at school on tuesday's and thursday's but other than that we can tune er' up. I don't know what your work schedule is like but Im free the other 3 days of the week (usually up working on the shop) Or we can do it next weekend.

Next weekend sound good. Email me your phone # I will call you to arrange the time to meet. Beer and wings we can do it at the Hooter girls restaurant. I am sure we are going to have some fun doing street tune. I love to be able to put a WOT to 6000+rpm. Right now it is untune and I have been driving mostly on the weekend and limiting to around 4000rpm. Under boost I love it how it pull.

Bruce it's supposed to pour all day long. Not a good way to tune a 750hp car Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer, we can tune it then.
