Thankfully, I didn't need to do that; I found out Sun., just needed to be creative.

Pat? He's kind of a weenie.

Not really, he's alright in my book.
Your book must be made of toilet paper.




























Just kidding Pat

I knew u wouldn't leave me hangin, Pat.

I know u said u would help put on if I came to your place. Just worried being away from home, on a project. Like if I was missin parts or whatnot. I know u got skills.

Some of issues gettin tune on truck, not the tune itself. It involved emails w/. a great individual who hooked me up w/. a tune, them emails to HPT, phone calls to Magnacharger after Superchips wouldn't allow my modded tune to work as my "base stock tune", & a ****-ton of security / email problems between my brother's laptop & desktop & goin to & fro our house & my other brother's house. A nightmare fo sho.

Fired up @ 10 P.M. Aug. 6th 2012!!!

I have a guy who is local to us who can tune, mostly does vettes but he is good and can get you dyno sheets if your are interested...let me know.

Wanna see this thing rolling thru the dream cruise!
U tell me?!?
Dustin off? No dust here bro. Dustin off, whatcha mean it's already on & running. I wanna get wideband, fuel press, & boost gauges done. W/B at bare minimum, altho they're all goin on. Wiring & electrical intimidates me.
Absolutely interested. Lemme know, call, text or PM. Or tell me when to contact you. I want dyno tuned & sheets. Was gonna go to Livernois I was thinkin yesterday. But...we'll touch base.

Better answer your phone when I call.

It'll be at Dream Cruise. Yet, another reason I wanted it done by then, besides just havin finished. I actually thought it was goin on last fall or was it the prevoius, but things outta my hands put kabasch on that. But it's on now.

Be assured, vids, dyno tuning &, numbers, track results comin.
When is a different story, but I hope soon. Depends on funds, timing, but vids should be 1st. Soon as I figure out my GoPro.

I checked for leaks, both coolant & fuel. Then went ~5 miles, break in miles last night, still good. Needed DexCool, they're out. I had 1 1/2 Gal. drain out, so replaced some, but not all; hence, why I went to store.
