Ive been fighting with some health Issues for several years now so havent been able enjoy the car much.

However i hired a helper (23 YO kid that wants to learn) so I can keep making changes to the car. Made some really significant engine tuning changes (been training in HP tuners with the tuning school while incapacitated) Car is running amazing..
I also via apprentice ripped the transmission out and had it replaced by Tremec for the factory issue with the return Ports. Great customer service on their part BTW

Lastly I dropped the rear spring rate from 350 Lbs to 200 Lb .. took the car for a Sunday cruise today with the new 'softer' suspension.. OMG what a joy..

Live every day like it's your last.. one day you will be right ..

Your last comment is so true and after my 4th cancer diagnosis I finally started believing in living every day to the fullest.

Keep fighting the fight
