What in the $@#$!@#$ @#$@#$ @#$@#$ is up with these people? Do they all have so much damn work that they come and go as they please. What a pain in the @#$@#$@#$@#$

Whew - sounds like you had a long weekend!

We got in at 4a.m today and emptied the truck out - hit the pillows by 5

I was dead tired (still am) but I suppose that sleep is over rated anyways...

re: your driveway - my Father-in-law has a neighbor who does concrete work - he was happy with his driveway...
Ask for the contact info if you are at wits end Guy did fine for him...

Enjoy your week - worst case scenerio, your Corvette will still be at john's shop for the Dyno day in July

p.s. Nice picture on p/ 17 of Corvette Enthusiast of your car leading the pack

I picked up the car yesturday. runs a lot better. max power is still 407.

The car still hunts for the idle sometimes. John said it's hard to tune/set the idle with the large cam I have using LT1edit/LS1 edit. The new tuning setup he is buying will fix the issue. Should be ready to go in a few months.
