Ran into foundation issues that have set me back 3-4 days (mostly concrete drying time). Instead of being able to rough in the plumbing Sunday afternoon like originally planned it won't be happening until Wednesday or Thursday now assuming my brother has time. Nothing is ever easy.

Aaron, intake tract reversion tuning is to the the separated length of the runner.
The length of port to the plenum, face of the carb, or the lip of the velocity stack.
It appears to me that the runners are a lot shorter than the length of the carb with manifold boot was.
But I may be wrong.

Bubonic plague set in overnight. Still have to goto work. FML. On a more disgusting note, I am getting pretty good at turning around quickly, when the runs change ends.

Let me tell you guys a story about the right person in the right place at the right time making bad things happen to bad people. 
So today I was headed down to a bit of property we own in North Haven where I cut all my wood just to check on conditions and see if I should bring my waders to go cut wood this week. As I'm turning onto the road there's a black SUV looked like a blazer in front of me with a few old tires and old nasty boards in it. My first thought is maybe they'll pull onto the highway. Then they pulled past there into The Game (it's an arcade/driving range/go-kart place for those of you not familiar with the area) and let me go past. So I go past and head down to our lot. Red flags are going up even more now. So as I'm getting ready to pull out of our lot they head down towards the culdesac where everyone dumps crap off. So I head that way to ask WTF they're doing and ask if they'd like to pick it up or if they'd like me to get North Haven PD to ask them instead. But they take off so I follow them a little ways (road's about a mile long) then they stop. So I, in turn, stop. Called my father and asked if he had the non-emergency # for the North Haven police he asks, "What's up?" So I explained what I just wrote out here. He said he'd call just sit tight and don't flush them out. So I went back to our lot and hid the truck behind the dozer and waited. After 5 minutes or so I decided they knew I was there may as well leave to give them a false sense of security. Well... North Haven PD got there first. As I pulled past there the 2 kids who were in the car were up against their trailer getting frisked and there were 4 North Haven cars there including the Supervisor car. Don't know what my father said but it must've been good... So I pulled into Keegan Sand & Stone to let them know to keep an eye out and call the cops if they see these retards here again.
The guy I was speaking to must not have quite got my point cause he asked if I got a plate number so I told him "I didn't but I'm pretty sure they did." and pointed back at the 4 cruisers with lights on dealing with the little s***heads.
And to address Aaron before he rains on my parade: I know they can't prove they were dumping and I don't really care. They can prove the trailer had no lights and no registration and whatever else they could find as well. And if nothing else it had to have been a pretty major wake-up call to the little ******.
