Default Maggie and SpinMonster do the Dance

Well, after an agonizing few weeks of seeing my new supercharger on my garage floor, Spinmonster finally made it down to the great state of Texas to do my install. The installation was pretty straighforward, or maybe Spin is just THAT good. I even saw his trademark torque wrench come out to do a final once-over with EVERY SINGLE bolt. I was loving every second of it, but I knew something was up when Guy went inside the house and came back out wearing his new sombrero with his laptop by his side. All the feel good came to an abrupt end when Spin made me go with him for the test&tune as he and maggie did the nasty. I really think he was trying to make me crap my pants as he proceeded to take my car to WARP 9. It was definitely an exciting but scary ride. I think he must have seen me getting kinda confident in the passenger seat, because we got to an intersection and he just swung the car into a mad 720* turn blowing rubber and asphalt to kingdom come. Absolutely nuts!!!! I am just LOVING this car now, and the SOUND!!! OH MAN, the sound is just an audio orgasm!!!! Guy has proven once again that he KNOWS his chit. I'm gonna have to let him tell you guys the rest of the story, so be sure and tune in later this week for your dose of SpinTV!!!

Lucky man! I got a ride in a Keene Bell Z06 and it was the experience of a lifetime... 60 - 150MPH in a few seconds! Congrats to spin for pulling off the install so smoothly too; I'm looking forward to hopefully having him give me a hand making my car faster too one of these days

He said to come tomorrow. He can do it in 2-3 hours. My tune is perfect. He got it 97% with the first 'guess'. No codes. No codes deleted. Free.

Facts for the rumor mill:

Kryptonite is deadly for the superhero.
Superchargers make a really awesome noise.
What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico
Police badges work in all states and borders.
George was scared by my test-tune driving. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Christmas happens for adults too.


There will be a really cool thread about the install, events and cool people I met in the 19 hour trip it took to get to Jo's. It will post for Tuesday morning. Still writing the intro....

Stay safe.
