Maybe do a lil research before swingin from someone's nuts. Jim has been through a lot of combos and tried various things to get where he is. We all do it. Trial and error is how we learn

I hear ya. Jim is a really cool guy but I'm not gonna kiss his *** lol
I dont have many miles on the new engine. I jsut got it back form the shop and have to await the new converter install and tuning for the 90mm TB so I dont drive it anyway right now. I have maybe 2k miles on it.

2 days gone and no numbers yet, I think they already ran it and the numbers was way less then they expected and that is what all this stalling and excuses is all about
