I'm keeping the Trackspec hood on though. I prefer it for looks but primarily the added cooling.

Man that drives me nuts. Bill at 2nd Street Speed in Perkasie PA did one of my tunes back in '08 and his software was having issues with connecting to his printer. I got a botched printout that looks like an EKG reading. I like to look at curves and document my builds. 15 years later and it still makes me cranky that printout sucks.
I don't get why tuners still use STD. SAE correction being the "gold standard". I believe SAE is between 4 to 4.5% less than standard. Others can correct me if I am mistaken. But you also have 4.10s which will make it read between 5 to 7hp lower on a dyno. So the net delta std being higher and 4.10s being lower it probably nets out some of the delta..
Not that any of the above matters in the real world but I have OCD and get stuck on details when its my ****. Blessing & curse.
Enjoy the "new" toy! I bet she's a fun runner. A drag radial us definitely in your future. Even if just for basic street driving at that power with a 4.10. Keep her *** where it belongs...under/behind you.

I hear that. My garage isn't heated either. So I have 3 options when I want/need to wrench.
1) not be a p@$$y put on a hat and get after it in my tight garage.
2) go to my sisters 1.5 hours away and use my brother- in- laws heated 16 car hobby garage with a lift and full mechanic shop tool access for both "wants and needs" as long as I can get there.
3) wait till warmer weather and do the "wants or needs" either in my tight garage or using my truck tailgate as a work bench in my driveway.
I typically go with #3 in the driveway (if I can wait) but prefer option #2 especially for bigger jobs.

Lol! Man, same drill! My "wife's BMW" is also taking up the other bay in my garage. She hasn't driven it in 3 or 4 years but I take it out a few times a year. I have an '85 V-Max wedged in there with it. I have room for another bike in front of the vette but it's a PITA if I want easy access to the car. I also don't want my driveway looking like "Beverly Hills Sanford and Son" with our dailys already out there.
