NOT!


Yes -- it's better. The first test was just a cold quicky to see IF there was a problem I should look after.... and actually - I was satisfied with the 15% because I knew it would improve with a "proper" test.... but like most of my posts - I know others are reading - so it's good to show this stuff so everyone learns a bit. So thanks for busting my chops and keeping it real!

Hey Greg,
No rain, sunny skies and dry roads........
Now that the 32 is buttoned up can we get some action shots?
Maybe have Alex video a giant rolling burnout up the street?
I know that motor has the snot it needs to boil those big ol' tires out back.

That guy who lives behind you would enjoy that right?

Have a good weekend buddy!

You know, one cylinder really isn't a proper test.

Glad to hear you are getty her dirty.

Looking forward to some vids when you finally get around to choosing a production company.

Just an update:


1400 miles ---- and running great and driving great. Amazing to me still that the pro shop couldn't get the little things sorted out - that took me just a couple of hours here and there and all is well. That's not all shops -- it's just that shop. They have a lot of "L.O.F.T" in the mechanical area.

How is Rudys Camaro coming along?
