Well, that doubles your changes of scoring, LOL Does the family label them as 'outsiders' and 'insiders' or some other fancy term?

Nope pretty much just "male" or "female". They literally wear labels because some times ya can't tell the difference .........

Wow, that's great Bill. I'll have to ship my old one out to Tony for a reburn. I took it out of the mule before I left it in SD. It will be nice to see the difference between 'you know who' and Tony, LOL

Yeah, I am pretty anxious to try Tony's tunes. I have never heard anything bad about his tunes. I have about had my gut full of sitting in this house and I am ready to get back to work on my truck and get it done! I'm feeling better everyday and today I feel almost 100%. I know I'm not though, but I do feel good enough I think I can get out in the shop and start doing some of the smaller stuff.

Sounds great on the chip Bill! Someday I'd like to try some other tunes. I keep saying that, but never do. Money always gets spent other places! I guess if mine didn't work as well as it does I'd be more after trying some others.

Don't rush yourself bud. Sounds like you're not gonna, but just reminding..

Bill, are they going to supply you with the scooter? I had great power with Tony's chip but always had two complains. The shift points were always to low and they were to smokey. #1 complaint doesn't apply to you though. I get the free reburns so I might as well give it a try. I waited almost two months to get my chip back from Tony but he was having big time problems that I can't even image happening to me. Travis said he was back and it sounds like he is.

I don't think I need the scooter now Glenn. I'm getting around about normal, just gotta be careful bending over. Other than still being a little tender, I think I'm good.
As far as the tunes go, I don't think they could be any smokier than my others. If I have the power to tow like I want to with out major EGT problems, I can deal with a little smoke, as long as it's not insanely smoky.
