ok, $30...and thats it
welcome home...get some sleep before you go...drive safe, this weekend is one of those weekends where stupid ***** drive. I'd hate to have one of them cause you and your wife issues.

 

thanks. ill be crashing soon. gotta unpack then Re-pack ha ha.. ill hopefully come back with a new car... then go back home again next weekend. my dad already said he would co for me again. but im not gettin that T/C balt. i got a call from XM radio tryin to set up my free trial. and Onstar sent me a letter...the car hasnt left freaking lordstown yet..... and there tryin to set my **** up.. it freaked me out..

 

Here ya go Steve, no more waiting...lol

 

they did that when I was gonna buy the trailblazer ss...called me 4 times....

 

it freaked me out. i got a very nice letter from jenny when i got home waiting for me on the table.. i had a few tears cause i miss her alot and its hard being here without her even though i knwo its for the better for now. im sure the ohio trip wqill take my mind offa things.. the car i want is 200 miles form my hometown in Seneca Ohio. found my ideal one.

dude no way.... ha ha that looks horrible.. and id never downgrade models..
found my car.. bash it or not this is what i want and i can afford the payment and insurance is 74 bucks a month for me.

 

How do you get 74 bucks a month for that in insurance?!?! I hope you aren't carrying the minimum...

WTF is that? Horrible paint scheme! Go figure, Warren is wearing a Steelers jersey too, LOL!

 

my entire family uses state farm insurance for years and years. so theres like a 20 multicar discount plus im married. my insurance agent is so close to our family that he came to my high school graduation party and gave my a card with 100 bucks in it. they have always helped me and jen and have been VERY VERY fair on insurance. the new balt would only cost me 76 bucks a month for insurance

 

Well, that explains it then...the married thing doesn help you that much for your particular age group...I'm guessing you haven't turned 25 yet that is.

I had Allstate with my stepfather and he did the same thing...till I knocked him the **** out.

 

so I went to the VB court house today to get my marrige license and all that good stuff and when I came out someone had hit my car and took off.... it looks like they tried to pull into the parking spot next to me on my passenger side, and ran the side of thier bumper into my door, and left. Now I have this nice big gouge and dent in door and it looks like ****... Also I went to the police station right across the street to file a report, and I had to sit there and wait about an hour and 1/2 for a police officer to show up.... WTF i was at the police station, and there were no officers their.... I really hate how other people just hit your car and take off....

 

well the base tune sucks my left nut big time. he has the PE set way to early. i press the pedal to 25% throtle and it already bottoms out the the AFR to well bellow 10.0:1 and the car falls on its face because its so heavly rich but once the turbo hits boost its fine the but the afr still holds at 10.0:1, the system is set up at 5lb's and i was making 4.22-4.68psi according to the boost gauge and spiked it to 5.08psi a few times. I called up vince and gave him the feed back and numbers i data logged on my lap top and he is going to make some adjustments tonight and ill have them tomorrow. I blew out the header/dp flange gasket again. DTP had their dyno booked for the day so i wont be going on the dyno till tuesday since monday is a holiday. We were on an 8th mile track and at least it was a bit faster then it was before. My stock 1/8th mile was 10.667 and i ran a 10.102 on my slowest pass and a 10.008 on my fastest pass.

 

whats the stock AFR, compaired to what yours is? I was thinking stock is like 14:1... or something like that... and you were driving it with the AFR being so screwed up... sounds like a good way to kill the car... also i thought you were set up for 10psi? Good luck tuning that thing though

 

stock is 14.6:1 when you drive it like an old man to maximize mile per gallon. when you tromp on it your afr should be some where around 10.8:1 at wide open throtle. I dont even tromp on it just give it moderate preasure to get up to crusing speeds of 45mph and it goes so far past 10.0 my afr gauge starts flashing because it cant read that rich of a fuel mixture

if i can get my buddies sister to hook me up with the video she took you can see my car fall on its face and then when it hits boost it rockets to speed.

 

when I stomp on it, my afr is around ~12.1 and then it drops to around ~11.7
10 anything is rich...safe, but rich

 

i may have to find someone that wants to trade their 42 or 50#ers for my 60#ers. Vince said that the 2.2 ECM maxes out at 52.5 for the injector size. He says he can tune around it but i just want to be safe rather then sorry

 

you could always get another injector...

 

i dont really want to buy another set of injectors if someone wants some 60#ers

damn....im down in jacksonville fl staying with my parents cause my dads stationed at nas jax and im bored outta my ****** mind cause i got nothin to do and im broke cause gas was a bitch to drive down here. im trying to hook up with a cobalt group down here if only for tonight. i shoulda joined the navy lol you guys seem to be doin fine. army fucked me over again!! block leave got shortened by three days and instead of deploying to iraq on the 6th of june im leaving on the 31st of may. good ****! s'ok. i'll only be there for 6 months. anything exciting goin on in va?

 

i translated my 10.008 time in the 1/8 mile at a 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile converter site. Turns out that on 5psi of boost my car would have ran a 15.6 in the 1/4 thats over a 1 second drop from my stock time

 

thats gay....don't convert anything, just do it.

pm Will and see if he still has the 42's from his old stage 2.
Cesar might even have a set.

 

I got 42's in my car now from the stage 2 and I want 60's....but...do I need a new tune to run the 60's in my car?

 

uh huh...its simple though.


on another note, I decided to wash the cars...only to find out I don't have any damn soap.

 

you can get your flywheel resurfaces at magnum machine shop in chesapeake...greenbriar area...ive dealt with the before they do great work...i dont have the number but im pretty sure there in the phone book or on the internet somewhere...

 

Yes u will. it wont be a whole new tune just a change in the ecm injector size. also vince tuned a ss sc that had the gm stage 2 tune in it and got 5 more whp out of it and 53 more wtrq of the gm stg2 tune

 

than we should see how we can do this
