    Evil must be defeated. Does this scare anyone else?

    Seems like every time I see Bush talking on TV he is harping about how this evil dictator must be killed, or this evil empire must be brought to ruin. Today he was talking about the evil of 'slavery'. He went on to say that profiiting from anyone elses use (can we say the porn industry) must...

    Another thumbs up for Eric at Tweak!

    Looks like Eric got moved and got in touch with me Thursday evening on a new chip. We were able to work out getting the chip to me over the weekend and I took it out for a test run. Wow, Directscan said I gained .4 and 5mph over my best run of 12.34 @110. The DS readings on that run were...

    Scared a Viper off

    At least thats what Im calling it :) Went to the track Friday night (new best time of 12.34 @110) and there was a sweet looking viper in line in the opposite lane for test and tune. There were 2 bikes in the lane opposite me with the viper right behind them. Well I wanted a piece of that...

    Car Audio Faq

    Someone have an old amp for sale?

    Im just looking for something fairly cheap to drive the 4 speakers in the car. I upgraded the 4x10s to Alpine 6x9s and put in a CD/mp3 player but it just sounds tinny. I was thinking someone out there should have something they have upgraded that would do the trick. Dave

    Recommendations on commercial insurance

    Ok all you insurance people, Im looking to purchase a 5600 sq ft building. Part of it will be a bar/lounge about 40 person occupancy. The larger part will be a bookstore/coffee shop/cyber cafe. I talked to one agent here and he gave me a rough guess of $2k a month for insurance. Seems...

    New Best Time

    Went out to the strip on Sat night, it has finally cooled off a bit here. I was able to drop .24 off my et from a 12.74 to a 12.50. It wasnt my fastest mph at 108 (109 was fastest) but I managed to get a little better traction at our crappy track and cut a 1.88 60' I was pretty happy...

    Good time at Amarillo Dragway

    After finally getting all the parts in the GN that I had planned and the tranny rebuilt to hold up I went out to the strip. It was Friday and they were running a street wars race, domestics vs imports with the fastest of each running the last race. Well as you might guess most of the...

    Spark retard with out knock?

    I put in a V4 intercooler over the weekend, turned down the boost a couple notches and went for a test drive. A couple of times on the directscan readings I noticed it was pulling a couple of degrees of timing but there was never any knock count. Could this be because DS just didnt catch the...

    Anyone have an image of the Stock TTA chip?

    With our ****ty 90 octane gas here the RA93 chip I have in the TTA is to hot. I cant find the stock chip. Does anyone have an image of it, or an image of a chip that will work with a nearly stock TTA at 3700 ft elevation and crap 90 octane Super Unleaded? Dave

    http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=843&prmenbr=361 I am looking to get some and this was the only vendor I could find who had them. Seems like the ones Ive seen pictures of dont look like this though. It says they are for the 87 buick regal so I would guess it...

    More KR with powerplate?

    Before putting in the powerplate I would do about 14 to 15 psi of boost without knock. I put in the PP and now its knocking at around 12 psi. So what have I screwed up. I know the plate shouldnt cause it to knock more so I figured Ive done something wrong. I have one in the GN and can...

    Paybacks a biatch

    A few weeks ago I head out to my mailbox to pick up the mail, only to find it brutally beaten into the opposite side of the road. You can tell that it was not a drive by slaying, but a deliberate, get our of your car, walk up to it and beat-the-hell-out-if-it attack. Well Im a bit ticked...

    Fry the ECM?

    While doing some test and tune on friday I think I fried the ecm. I was recording the runs with DS and then reburning the chip to get my fuel curve fixed up. I think I forgot to unplug the orange wire by the battery one time between pulling the chip out and reinstalling it. After that, no...
