I'm baaaaack

I'm back from my summer vacation trip.The 02 with the Diablo chip,Banks Pwr.Pk. performed "very" well towing about 6500lbs.I never had to go lower than 4th.(direct)gear on any hill,all the while turning less than 3000rpm.I also did well on fuel mileage managing 11mpg.on one tank.
I will say this though,it takes a while to read over a weeks worth of posts.
It's good to be back.

Glad your back, things are pretty slow around. It seems when the sun is out, people find better things to do than sit here and type.
Imagine that:P

So where did ya go for the vacation?

Thanks for the welcome back guys!
>So where did ya go for the vacation?

After being undecided until 2 days before we left,we ( my galfriend and me) ended up going to the Gettysburg,Pa.area.Great place and many other places to go within 75 or so miles of this area.Not too long of a trip from SW Ohio either.

BTW Kirk,if I was able to stay a few more days I would have contacted you and invited you out to dinner while in Pa.
