look at all those 70's w-30's! nice show.

i went for a ride in james truck today, he has gobs of power now from a new tune from beans. believe it or not, the extra juice comes mainly from taking some timing away from where the DP had it at. they were pushing the timing too much with their tunes and launching heads off, even on the mild economy or towing tunes. the truck has insane power now, with less boost. he went to some pulls last week, and unfortunately with the new power the strongest clutch available for his combo isnt enough to hold it....and he didnt even have the water/meth on yet. he has an e40d in the garage getting ready for a swap. this should get interesting....

i should be getting paid from a big drawn out side job i had going, so i hopefully will be able to get my chip burned and back in my truck. maybe even get a bigger HEUI pump to drive the injectors to their potential. im starting to sound like pete, pissing my money away

well im going back to watching Gran Torino, i highly recommend it if you havent seen it yet.
