Got a $161 ticket for going 127 in a 100. The LED lights on the RCMP cars are ruthless... I couldn't see ****. I'm thanking Jesus cause I know I was well north of 140 when I passed him.

Anyone who gets a ticket at a red light camera fails. I'm sorry... but when they publish a god damn list of where they are there's no excuse. For 5 months I traveled hwy 3 nearly daily going my usual 140-150, because RCMP and LRPS hardly trap and when they do I know where they are. Tonight it was a combination of bad luck because with the hard blowing wind I was more focused on keeping my car on the road, and 2 RCMP guys took advantage and had a beautiful trap set up. He got me with his laser before I even saw the car, probably. I'll give props where they're due. This is my first ticket for speeding after actually getting pulled over in 4 years of driving, that's running no radar or laser jamming... and I never drive the speed limit. Just gotta be aware.

same. i love lethbridge with the stupid photo boxes. u can spot those a mile away and just slow down.
the only time i got pulled over was when a cop, who was going the opposite directions as me, crossed my path at the crest of a hill near Speargrass outside Calgary. I literally only saw him for a second before i was going down the hill and he disappeared in my rear view mirror as he went down the other side of the hill. makes me believe they have radar running on their dash at all times...

I'm not going to compete with anyone;
Graham told me Kris wanted it, but it didn't come up when he popped by yesterday.
Mind you I haven't read up on the ZZP stage3... but I thought you were going Trifecta Stage3??

Stage 3 Questions & Answers
Although TVS, and other brand stages seem good ~ frankly if I had a SS/SC, this is the route I'd go... the features are hard to beat.
yeah silver cavalier, apparently you were asleep when he gunned it beside you...
then you dropped back, and did a flyby.

The GM-Stage3 is neither certified, or covered under warranty, and as I posted yesterday, anything beyond that setup has been proven to wreck parts starting with the upper ring land...
IIRC bluecobalt had that exact problem ~ GMPP stated that anything above 301bhp, puts too much pressure on the upper ring land, and requires aftermarket pistons...
It also stated that GMPP didn't put more boost into the Stage 3, because it created too much heat, which caused other issues...
The GMPP Stage 3 (or the Trifecta version of it) needs all the (GM) Stage 2 components to work ~ but it's the added features that make the GM Stage3 that much cooler IMHO;
The integrated nitrous dry shot, and user calibrated variable rev limit is freaking cool...
The Trifecta version of the Stage 3 simply offers as standard fare, the A/C to be enabled, and if you pay more, it is offered in an HTP tunable format...
In the end it's your car, and I have no doubt that what ever you do, you will be happy... but I posted yesterday, because i thought you were going with the Trifecta Stage3, so when you posted otherwise, I was surprised...
Is Sunday out of the question?

for Sunday, all I have tentatively planned is church in the morning, and if I wasn't able to meet up with Teejay, on Saturday... I will do it Sunday...
IIRC I am only getting out of Church (I volunteer during the 2nd service) 12:30pm earliest... I'll call you Saturday and we'll talk...
EDIT: You could also pop by for a bit tonight... or we could bomb down to my place at lunch...

sorry i meant he not intercooler... did you get the st3 he? or just the base one? ya not fond of the logo, rather that it didnt have it.... i am not going to waste my time with thier tune.... so whats the best option about the belt? i would think a shorten belt is better then idle tensioner....
The best option about the belt is to get a GM Stage 2 belt from either your dealer or online somewhere.

ouch to kris....doesnt look bad enough for a write off but it could be close pending if any frame damage, i hope it wasnt an at fault for you insurance
mark as for tuning once i get going again in the spring i will be loading my tunes, i estimate i spent around 36 hours fine tuning tables in hp tuners, i have a great handle on all aspects and just have one thing left to play with.
Im have a bunch of different timing tables made up to try and pull some major #'s with the new setup. Then once i get it fine tuned on the car i will get the 50 shot of nitrous and start tuning it. It will take me a couple hours of logging to fine tune it after porting the head ...just get close to having it right then i change something
