use that $400 to get a chip burnt and be done with it. You have been dicking around with that tune all summer.

I'm still messing with it but its easier using the PMS than the Tweecer. I still wanted something I could adjust when needed without having to go back to the dyno for another chip which would cost more money. I'm putting that $400 towards the credit card bill for Anderson Motorsports PMS. Anderson got me started with a baseline and after that its up to me to make needed changes which I have already been doing. Its not perfect but getting better. Sooo much easier and relatively basic. The PMS is 3 times faster than the stock computer.
Nice pics Worden.
For Tasca day I already know a few other guys going so it will be great seeing them go down the track. Supposed to in the 60s and sunny .
SHipping the Tweecer out tomorrow!

I am proud to tell you guys that as of September 23rd at 5:30 in the morning Katie and I became parents!!! His name is Christopher Shaw, he weighed 6 lbs., 5oz., and is 19" long. He was due on Oct. 12th, but ended up suprising us 20 days early!! The labor for Katie only lasted about 2 or 3 hours, which is amazing in my opinion. She was awesome through the whole thing, and we are very proud parents of our handsome young man.

Shaw!!!!! congrats!!!!!

I got different studs and did not reuse the stockers. Not sure how much longer they are from the stock ones but they seemed to be fine from what chris said. I have not test fitted one of the rims yet so I dont know for sure.

 

[BadVoodoo]

FR500 with 275/40 Nitto DR = 47lbs each
Prostar with 26x10.5 ET streets = 34lbs each

Looks like you could have gone with a 28" tire. Would that have fit?

 

[DoubleONegative]

Yeah mike a 28 would have fit....but i wanted to keep my gear ratio at 3.73 so i went with the 26s

 

[Venom351R]

Thats why I sent my 28" MT back b/c it would have defeated the purpose of putting in the 3.73's. Looks good mike, cant wait to get mine on.

And for todays random photo

Shaw, congrats man. Seeing those pic's reminds me of when my son was born. Felt 7 ft tall and 3 ft tall all at the same time.

Say Hello to N/A 12's

 

[gaslight]

you have to actually do it before you can say that.
When you going tomorrow? I'm not going early. Not racing so not a concern about getting there for a great spot. I talked to someone else today and he is heading down early to get some decent spotS for some trailers.

 

[Venom351R]

Considering Im at 13.1 now Im petty sure I can get 12's before to long with better traction.

 

[gaslight]

I'd say take a little weight out of the car and see what happens with the new tires.

Not to sure of what else I can take out besides the passenger and rear seat. Jack and spare have been out since my first run down their this past spring. Might be a major PITA even getting the passenger seat out b/c of the cage. Still have the dog bone on it, maybe I'll take that off mon or tues since Im not working.

 

[gaslight]

yeah take that dog bone off. I would try to take out the seats. Might need two people to take that front out carefully without scratching something. Drain your windshield washer fluid and go with 1/3 tank or less gas. Be creative and find any place you can take out weight.

has not had any windshield washer fluid in it for awhile and I usally try to have not much more then 1/4 of a tank left. I was going with more in the tank when I was runing in the mid 13's
