I believe the plan is to throw on some cams switch to an external dump install meth and see the outcome. The airflow that the 3076 can create is gonna push to get his built engine done sooner than later

Jon is gonna run meth add cams and change from a recirculation wastegate to an external dump. And because he's on a stock engine still he's gonna start thinking about throwing his other engine with Mr B sleeves and forged bottom end together to hold the power his setup will make.

Kris - were you at Walmart @ deerfoot meadows around 1pm yesterday?

I saw a black/stickered turbo sedan - but it was missing your tell-tale tinted tail lamps.

who are you 'Beaker'? - that was garble-di-goop....

in order for it to make sense, you needed to translate it.

Since your initial comment was as indecipherable as Beaker's ramblings, let us have a Beaker interlude

it was terrible...
but the little yellow tank handled it in stride...
i think she deserves a wash for her efforts this morning.

seriously, shoveling the snow before 7am sucks - even worse than normal when you're not expecting it!

It's called restraint.

It is sometimes hard to exercise, but I find the key is perspective;

Here are some points that help me out:

1) There's no point trying to be the fastest, because there will invariably always be someone faster than you.

2) Is the car still fun? - if so, let it be for a while.

3) How fun/fast is it compared to other cars you've had?
(your last cobalt was 181(?)hp, with your parts and the tune, you'remore than 100hp over that - bone stock w/GMS1 was rated at 290hp)

4) if it aint broke - don't fix it.

... but hey, that's just me


edit: point #4 can be a real bi*%h;
Tearing into a perfectly fine running car, then having little issues plauge you after changing it, can leave a real sour taste in your mouth... I've learnt this one too many times to not at least warn friends.

Good point Jon. Slowly but surely. I do think my next purchase will be charge pipes the save up for meth.

Neutral balance shafts showed up today!

They are way smaller than I thought they would be...

I'm starting to feel like you Zwack - I'm hoarding parts like it's going out of style!
