Default I'm Back

Just figured out I had a router problem that blocked me from this website. Thought I was going to die without help. I was right at the end of a big project and could have really used the help. Just installed an Englandgreen Whiplash II cam kit with a set of Trick Flow 215 Heads, Z grip Textrailia Clutch and RPM Stage II Differential with 410 micro polished gears. Rebuilt the entire Torque tube along the way. Started March 22 and finished a week ago. I am getting the final tune done tomorrow in Kansas City. The wife is really happy to get her 1/4 of the garage back to park her car in. HA! HA!

Congrats on getting the upgrades done. Are you going to get the tune done at MC Racing in KC? Post up the numbers you get after the dyno.

Default Tune

I am having Justune do it. After I get a little more time on it and he tweaks it I will take it to MC for the Dyno. Going with an SD tune.

Default Still waiting on the tune

I am bummed. I wanted to have this thing all tuned for the weekend. The day I was to take it to KC for the tune last week was the only day of the week Mother Nature decided to water the whole end of the state I live in and the end of the state that KCMO is in. I don't drive it in the rain.
