Next time they redo the track, they should put radiant heat pipes in the concrete hooked up to a big boiler. Won't that be the shzt.

Now that would be cool because as we all know, along with that cold air and higher barometer ALSO comes an ice cold ground and loss of traction all the way up that 1320.

Looking forward to it...as well as looking forward to the 11.5s and 11.4s that you will LEGITIMATELY run at Atco after that FAST install because if the time slip says it then it is in fact, true.

Cool, and maybe we also can get Ellis to bring his $750.00 weather station along with his laptop so we can simultaneously check out how the online information matches up with both of your handhelds and perhaps finally get to the bottom of this debate.

Quite frankly, given the same DA I ran at MIR, I dont see it giving more than .10...though that would be .10 more than the ported stock intake I recently sold off.

I see your selling your stock intake? Did your Secret Weiand Weapon come in?

I understand Daren will be running soon at HRP with his new Fast 92. As some other says...stay tuned!

I'll have my trusty Dell D610 Latitude laptop too, never leave home for the strip without it or my HP Tuner.

I just realized its Marc, Gary and Joe who have the best C6 LS2 A6 times against all those LS3 guys. Thus we all have to pitch in to keep the LS2 A6 Brotherhood all at the top of the CF List.

Nah, that's not the one off of my car, that's one of a few extras I got a decent deal on and am reselling.
I am patiently waiting for that Weiand Street Warrior to finally get released but it's not out yet. If I do actually ever decide to mod further I might just go with a FAST 92 as well.

Yes, Daren should run quite well now that he has that to compliment his other mods.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of...that the telephone recording/message will say "yes we're open today" and when we get there it won't be or it will be 1/8th mile only.
