Flying back to MD...

I'm flying back home (old home) next week to watch Anderson tune and run the GN. He ran into a little problem with the block, found a crack in the cyl wall. That damn injector really messed a ton of stuff up.. anyway, he's installing a sleeve and should have the block ready for install this saturday.. I'm crossing my fingers to praying that the car will be here on the west coast by the Track day.. If not, i know she will be here for the dyno day ..
Watch out 9's, here comes Mikey

I landed last night. i stopped down Anderson shop in the AM.. he was going to pick up the block today and have ready for install this weekend.. I'm towing the car from my parents house to his shop on Saturday.. Sounds like i'm going to miss seeing him run the car but i trust his driving abilities .. He still needs to install the boost controler and the trans shield and blanket.. I'm also getting him to move the battery into the trunk. I can't think of anything else to add to the car while it's here.. i guess i could always get him to install a stage 2 , but i would be homeless when i got back to Cali...

What about a PA system so you can blast Mariachi music at stop lights!
Thats what I'd do

Yes.. just talked to them. The motor is in and should be fired up tonight or tomorrow.. Also the boost controller is all wired up, trans shield and blanket completed too. i had them also move the battery into the trunk and put in a kill switch. i think they are heading to the track on saturday or next weds night .. hopefully they can tune the complete car in, so i don't drag the right side bumper anymore. Once the car arrives here, Bob is hooking me up with his cage maker so i can complete mine to a 10 point. Hopefully this will keep the track techs out here off my back ..
